Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Leonurus cardiaca extract in reducing anxiety symptoms in adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Sixty drug-free participants aged 20-50 years with a diagnosis of GAD will be randomly assigned to receive either Leonurus cardiaca extract or placebo for 30 days. The primary outcome is the reduction in anxiety symptoms assessed by the SCAG scale. Secondary outcomes include changes in quality of life (SF-12), perceived stress (PSQ), anxiety severity (HAM-A), and anthropometric measures. Safety will be assessed through liver, kidney, and thyroid function tests. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, day 14, and day 30.
