Herbal brew for early puberty? trial ends early

NCT ID NCT07141615

Summary

This study tested a traditional Chinese herbal formula called Qingwei Huazhuo Decoction in 94 girls with mild early puberty (breast development starting too soon). The goal was to see if the herbs could slow breast growth and bone age. However, the trial was terminated early, so we don't have clear results on whether it worked.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Qingwei Huazhuo Decoction (a blend of mulberry leaf, lotus leaf, malt, hawthorn, Poria cocos, gardenia, tangerine peel, licorice, and monk fruit powders)

What this could lead to

If it had worked, this herbal formula might have offered a natural option to slow early breast development in girls with mild precocious puberty.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. It was a small, single-center study with no placebo group, making it hard to know if the herbs truly helped.
