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 research study conducted by Accellacare.

Are on a stable dose of allopurinol (Aloprim, Zyloprim) for at least one month.

You will receive a total of $1225 for the completion of the study, this includes $300 for three visits, $50 for six visits and $25 for completing a telephone visit.
