Gout relief: should you take meds immediately?

NCT ID NCT05109936

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether giving gout medication (febuxostat) right after an attack is better than waiting 6 weeks, which is the current standard. About 128 people with gout will be split into two groups to compare how many days they have gout symptoms. The goal is to see if early treatment can reduce pain and prevent the disease from getting worse.
