The Effects of Limb Elevation During Gout Flare Episodes

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this open-label randomized controlled trial is to explore the benefit of limb elevation in inpatient gout flare episodes, compared with standard treatment The main questions are; - Is limb elevation able to reduce pain during gout flare episodes to a greater degree compared with standard treatment ? - Is Is limb elevation able to reduce joint swelling during gout flare episodes to a greater degree compared with standard treatment ? Participants will be divided into 2 group; 1. Limb elevation group 2. control group All participants will receive standard medical therapy consisting of colchicine 0.6 mg per day plus prednisolone 30 mg per day for 2 days Pain score and joint circumference will be recored at recruitment, 24 hour and 48 hour

Clinical Trial Description

Limb elevation has shown benefit in ankle sprain and venous insufficiency, but its benefit has not been studied in people with gout flare. In this open-label randomized controlled trial, 30 adults diagnosed with gout flare during their hospitalization will be randomized to receive limb elevation plus standard medication for gout flare (limb elevation group) or standard medication only (control group). Primary outcome is reduction in 10-point visual analogue scale for pain at 48 hours after enrollment and the secondary outcome is the reduction of the circumference of affected joint at 48 hours after enrollment. Comparison of pain score and joint circumference reduction will be made using Wilcoxon Rank-sum test. Our study results may provide some evidence in support of limb elevation as a supplementary non-pharmacological therapy for relief of gout flare. ;
