Overview

To evaluate whether alkalization has the effect of lowering uric acid and reducing gout flare and determine whether alkalization has a role in the prevention and treatment of urinary calculi in gout, the research participants were divided into the control group, the potassium citrate group and the sodium bicarbonate group. 2 alkalization groups took potassium citrate three times a day 2.16g each time, or sodium bicarbonate three times a day, 1.0g each time, on the basis of the standard uric acid-lowering treatment plan. The control group was treated with the standard uric acid-lowering treatment regimen alone. Uric acid-lowering treatment plan: Maintain the individualized uric acid-lowering treatment plan at the time of patient enrollment. Traditional uric acid-lowering treatment plans include drugs that reduce uric acid production such as febuxostat and allopurinol, and drugs that increase uric acid excretion such as benzbromarone. At the time of enrollment, the uric acid-lowering drugs were stable.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
