Qing-Xin-Jiao-Tai Decoction for Insomnia Comorbid With Obesity Presenting With Heart-Kidney Non-interaction Syndrome
China72 participantsStarted 2026-10-01
Plain-language summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Qing-Xin-Jiao-Tai Decoction (QXJTD), a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula, in treating adults (aged 18-65) suffering from both insomnia and obesity. Specifically, the study targets patients diagnosed with Heart-Kidney Non-interaction syndrome. In this study, 72 eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either QXJTD granules or a matching placebo twice daily for 8 weeks. Both groups will concurrently receive a personalized lifestyle intervention program that includes structured dietary and exercise guidance. The primary purpose of this research is to determine if QXJTD combined with lifestyle modifications can significantly improve sleep quality and promote weight loss compared to the placebo. The primary endpoints evaluated will be objective sleep parameters measured via overnight polysomnography, the percentage of body weight lost, and subjective sleep improvements assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). By evaluating these outcomes, the researchers hope to provide a safe and effective integrative treatment strategy for patients struggling with this complex comorbidity.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
