Cycling to Protect the Ankle in Gout
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if regular cycling can help protect the ankle joint in people with gout. It may be an option if you've had gout attacks in your ankle and are past the most recent flare-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have gout diagnosed by standard guidelines and have had at least two gout attacks in either ankle in the last 6 months.
- An ultrasound of your ankle in the last 6 months shows signs of gout (like a double line or urate deposits).
- It has been at least 4 weeks since your most recent gout attack.
- If you take uric-acid-lowering medication, your dose has been stable for at least 4 weeks and will not change during the study.
- You have not taken certain anti-inflammatory drugs (colchicine, NSAIDs, steroids) in the past 2 weeks, and you haven't had steroid shots in the ankle in the last 3 months.
- You do not have other types of arthritis, joint surgery, or serious heart or blood vessel conditions.

This trial tests whether nurse-led telehealth visits can help people with gout maintain healthy urate levels. If you have gout and are already on medication like allopurinol, this study may offer a convenient way to manage your condition from home.
This study tests two doses of a medicine called Purified Cortrophin Gel for people having a gout flare that started in the last 5 days. It might be an option if other treatments haven't worked or aren't safe for you.
This study compares two different treatment goals for a blood level called urate in people with gout. The goal is to see which approach lowers gout flares better while helping people feel better.
This trial tests a new medication, ABP-745, for people having an acute gout flare. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps reduce pain and inflammation.
This study looks at whether uric acid crystals in the foot (gout) are linked to hardening of the heart arteries. It involves CT scans of the heart and foot to check for deposits. If you have gout and heart risk factors, you may be able to help researchers understand this connection.
This trial tests whether people with well-controlled gout can safely stop their urate-lowering medication (allopurinol or febuxostat) if an ultrasound shows no urate crystals in their joints. It may help you avoid unnecessary medication while keeping your gout under control.
