In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this study is to integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory and therapeutic methods with modern low-level laser stimulation on corresponding acupoints, applying this combined approach to the field of weight management in menopausal women. The trial aims to investigate whether lifestyle modifications in accordance with WHO guidelines (dietary control and exercise), combined with adjunctive low-level laser acupuncture, can enhance weight reduction and improve body composition more effectively than standard lifestyle interventions alone.
