Traditional Chinese medicine for early puberty in girls
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a traditional Chinese medicine treatment for young girls with early puberty who also have a pattern of phlegm-dampness (a TCM diagnosis). It aims to see if the treatment can help manage early puberty signs and improve health.
