This study was conducted to compare the effects of a 12-week 16:8 Time-Restricted Feeding (Intermittent Fasting) + home-based exercise protocol with and a calorie-restricted Standard Diet (SD) + home-based exercise protocol on body composition, lipid profile, glycemic control, and liver function enzyme levels in obese women.
11,522 studies on the registry are indexed under Obesity; 2,033 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 66 is close to the median of 67 across 9,006 interventional studies indexed under Obesity.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
BMI (body mass index)

Ran from May 2025 to primary completion in Jul 2026, 13 months.
Of 3,680 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43. This study's 13 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,843 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 42.
