Summary

This clinical trial is investigating whether a traditional Chinese medicine formula called Qingxin Jiaotai Decoction (QXJTD) can help adults who have both insomnia and obesity. Participants will receive either the herbal granules or a placebo, along with personalized diet and exercise guidance, for 8 weeks. The study will measure changes in sleep quality, body weight, and body composition to see if the herbal formula adds any benefit beyond lifestyle changes alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Qingxin Jiaotai Decoction (QXJTD), a traditional Chinese medicine herbal formula, combined with a personalized lifestyle intervention (diet and exercise)
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a new integrative treatment option for people struggling with both insomnia and obesity, potentially improving sleep quality and supporting weight loss.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not be conclusive. The herbal formula may have side effects or interact with other medications, and its benefits over placebo are not yet proven.
