ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of a medication called metformin to see if it can help patients with gout, a condition that causes severe pain and swelling in the joints. Gout can significantly affect a person's quality of life, leading to difficulties in daily activities. Metformin is commonly used to treat diabetes by helping the body use insulin better, and researchers want to find out if it can also be beneficial for people suffering from gout.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be diagnosed with gouty arthritis based on specific medical criteria. However, there are some people who cannot join, such as those with certain serious health conditions like heart or brain disorders, or those taking specific medications. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the trial to assess how well metformin works for managing their gout symptoms. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it aims to provide valuable information on a potential new treatment option for those struggling with gout.
