Prednisolone Versus Colchicine for Acute Gout in Primary Care
Acute GoutGout is the most common form of rheumatic disease in which monosodium urate crystals are deposited in the joints followed by acute inflammatory reactions. There are various approved drugs that can be prescribed for pain relief during an acute gout attack. However to date, no direct comparison of efficacy of colchicine and prednisolone for the treatment of acute gout attacks has been investigated. Furthermore, majority of previous research studies were not only conducted in tertiary centres but also excluded patients with common comorbidities due to contraindications with naproxen. This pragmatic, prospective, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized, non-inferiority trial will investigate whether prednisolone (treatment drug) is comparable or only acceptably worse than treatment with colchicine (comparison drug) in patients presenting with acute gout. Patients presenting with acute gout to their general practitioners in 60 practices across 3 university sites (Greifswald, Göttingen, and Würzburg) will be invited to participate. Patients often excluded by previous studies due to contraindications with naproxen will also be able to participate. The investigators will compare the absolute levels of the most severe pain on day 3 (in the last 24 hours) measured with an 11-item numerical rating scale as the primary endpoint. Day 0 is the day patients take their study medication for the first time. They are then asked to fill out a study diary at the same time each day to quantify their pain. Pain scores will then be used as comparison between the two medications.

The Impact of Metformin on the Outcome of Gouty Arthritis in a Cohort of Egyptian Gouty Patients....
Gouty ArthritisObjective: To study the impact of metformin on the outcome of gouty arthritis in a cohort of Egyptian gouty patients, and to evaluate its effect on local joint inflammation, inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6), and life quality. Methods: A prospective randomized, single-blinded parallel randomized control study included 100 patients with active inflammatory gouty arthritis were randomized to receive metformin (1000mg/day) or placebo in addition to the traditional lines of treatment of gout. The clinical and laboratory data of the patients will be analyze at baseline, then after 3, and 6 months, with the assessment of gout disease activity, in addition, serum IL-1β and IL-6, the number of attacks per year, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and disability index were evaluated at the 6th month from starting metformin and placebo therapy.
Relation Between Blood Concentration of Colchicine and Response to Colchicine Treatment in Gout...
Gout FlareGout, secondary to sodium urate crystal deposition, is responsible of recurrent inflammatory painful flares. Efficacy of colchicine which is the first line drug for the treatment and prophylaxis of gout flare varies and only half of treated patients experience good response. This study aims to optimize colchicine prescription for the treatment and prophylaxis of gout flare. Current data suggest that efficiency of colchicine relies on its maximum blood concentration (Cmax). In this study, the investigators hypothesize that responders to colchicine treatment have higher colchicine Cmax than non-responder patients following the recommended dose regimen (1 mg then 0.5 mg 1 hour later). The individual pharmacokinetics (PK) of colchicine remains poorly investigated while the assessment of individual drug metabolisms can be performed. The hypothesis of this study stands that several factors contribute to the variability of colchicine Cmax. The analysis of individual PK profile and a well-characterized metabolism of colchicine will permit a personalized treatment regimen for the treatment and prophylaxis of gout flares.

Immediate Analgesic Effects of Cheek Acupuncture for Acute Gouty Arthritis
Acute Gout ArthritisAcupuncture1 moreThe goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the immediate analgesic effect and patients' evaluation of the treatment of cheek acupuncture in patients with acute gouty arthritis. The main question it aims to answer are: Does cheek acupuncture has immediate pain relief effects on patients with acute gouty arthritis. Participants will received cheek acupuncture for 30 mins. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare etoricoxib group to see if cheek acupuncture is superior to etoricoxib for improvement of acute pain in subjects with acute gouty arthritis.
