Ultrasound check for joint and tendon problems in gout
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look for hidden changes in joints and tendons in people who have gout. It may help doctors better understand what ultrasound can show in gout, but it doesn’t sound like it’s testing a new medicine.

This study looks at people with certain types of crystal deposits in joints (like gout, CPPD, or hydroxyapatite crystal disease). It uses scans such as ultrasound and a special CT-type scan called DECT to confirm and better understand what’s causing your symptoms.
This study looks at how long it takes for urate crystals (the cause of gout) to dissolve in the body. It may help if you have gout, are not on uric acid-lowering medicine, and have higher uric acid levels.
This study uses ultrasound to look at painful or swollen joints and help doctors tell the difference between rheumatoid arthritis and gout. It may help with faster and more accurate diagnosis.
This study looks at imaging findings (ultrasound and X-rays) in people with CPPD, gout, or osteoarthritis. It aims to help doctors better identify these conditions early.
This trial tests whether an ultrasound scan can help your primary care doctor make better decisions about muscle, bone, or joint problems. You would receive an ultrasound in addition to your usual check-up.
This trial uses a harmless ultrasound to check for early, non-obvious joint and muscle problems in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who have not been diagnosed with arthritis.
