Traditional Chinese Medicine for Early Puberty in Girls
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether traditional Chinese medicine can help treat early puberty (when breast development starts before age 8) in girls. The treatment focuses on a specific body-type pattern called 'phlegm-dampness' that doctors believe may contribute to early puberty.
