First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to standard weight-loss drugs helps people lose more weight. About 296 adults with obesity (BMI 27 or higher) in Taiwan are being followed for 6 to 12 months. Researchers are measuring weight loss, body fat, and muscle-to-fat ratio to see if the combination works better than drugs alone.
