This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a multi-acupoint low-level laser therapy device designed to help women going through menopause who are overweight or obese. The laser therapy targets specific acupoints (points used in traditional Chinese medicine) and is combined with standard diet and exercise guidance. Researchers want to see if this treatment can help reduce body fat, increase muscle mass, and improve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.
Many women struggle with weight gain and menopausal symptoms during menopause, and current treatment options are limited. This trial explores whether combining laser acupuncture with lifestyle changes might offer a new way to help with both body composition and menopause-related discomfort.

If you join this trial, you will visit the clinic twice a week for 6 weeks (12 sessions total). During each 30-minute session, you will receive either active laser acupuncture or a sham (fake) laser treatment — you won't know which one — along with the same diet and exercise guidance as everyone in the study. Your body composition (fat, muscle, weight) and menopausal symptoms will be measured at the start, midway through, and at the end of the 6 weeks.
