NCT ID NCT07312396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare cycling and jogging in 90 adults with gout who have had ankle attacks. Participants will continue standard urate-lowering medication and exercise moderately for 45-60 minutes per session. Researchers will track gout flare frequency, blood uric acid levels, and ankle joint health using ultrasound and MRI over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cycling and jogging
What this could lead to
If cycling proves better than jogging, it could offer a simple, low-impact exercise option to help people with gout reduce flare-ups and protect their ankle joints.
What could go wrong
This is a small exploratory study that hasn't started yet, so results are uncertain. Exercise may not significantly change gout attack frequency, and individual responses can vary.
