NCT ID NCT07490522
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a smartphone app called 'MinUrinsyregikt' to help people with gout manage their condition. The app provides information, tracks gout flares, urate levels, and medication reminders. Fifty adults with gout will use the app for 3 months to see if it is practical and helpful for self-management, with the goal of planning a larger future study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MinUrinsyregikt self-management app
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help gout patients better manage their condition and improve treatment adherence, potentially reducing flare-ups.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply widely. The app may have technical issues or not improve outcomes significantly.
