Gout Research Study
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that causes sudden, severe joint pain. It is caused by a condition known as hyperuricemia, where there is too much uric acid in the body. Gout occurs when there is an accumulation of monosodium urate crystals within the joints, resulting in pain, swelling, dysfunction/disability as well. If gout is affecting your quality of life, then you might be interested in a clinical research study.
This research study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug combined with allopurinol for the treatment of gout.
