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 mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nurse-led telehealth support (app, letter, SMS, or phone)
- 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.
