Read our Obesity research guide →Phase 1/2 — A combined trial that checks safety and dosing while also starting to look at whether the treatment works.
This trial is testing an integrated traditional Chinese medicine day care program designed to help people with metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions including obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and unhealthy cholesterol levels. The program combines herbal medicine, laser acupuncture, and personalized diet and lifestyle education based on Chinese medicine principles. Researchers want to see whether this approach can help people lose weight and improve their metabolic health.
Metabolic syndrome is very common today and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. While Western medicine offers medications to treat individual symptoms, many patients—especially in the early stages—need better support for lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. This trial explores whether traditional Chinese medicine approaches can offer a personalized, holistic option that may help people manage their weight and metabolic health more effectively.
