Can a Nurse's call keep gout in check? new trial tests digital support

NCT ID NCT06971146

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This Danish trial tests whether nurse-led telehealth support helps people with gout stick to their urate-lowering medication and maintain healthy uric acid levels. 200 adults who have already reached target levels will be randomly assigned to either usual care or a support program where they can choose app reminders, letters, texts, or phone calls from a nurse. The main goal is to see if more people in the support group keep their uric acid under control after one year.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, flexible way to help people with gout stay on track with their medication and avoid flare-ups.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial focused on support strategies, not a new drug. The results may not apply to all gout patients or healthcare systems.
