Effects of a Multi-acupoint Laser Therapy Device on Body Shape and Body Composition in Obese Menopausal Women
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
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.
