Chinese medicine for girls with early puberty
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal formula (nourishing yin, reducing fire) can help slow down rapid puberty in girls who started showing signs between 8 and 9 years old, before standard treatments are typically used. It aims to see if this option is safe and effective.
