About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The goal of this interventional study is to learn whether dietary education and intervention can reduce blood uric acid levels in patients with gout.

Read full original descriptionShow less

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Can dietary education and intervention reduce gout-related clinical laboratory results? * Can dietary education and intervention improve BMI and SBP/DBP in participants with gout? In this study, participants will be divided into three groups, including a control group, and their outcomes compared, in order to determine whether a low-purine (low-uric-acid) diet and a DASH diet are effective in reducing blood uric acid levels in participants with gout.

Participants will:

* Participate in the study for a total of 2 years, receiving dietary education and intervention according to their assigned group throughout this period * Complete surveys, physical measurements, and receive dietary education once every 6 months * Receive dietary education by phone and through an app, and complete surveys, once every month

The 3 groups in the trial

  • Usual Diet and lifestyleNo study treatment, for comparison

    Participants will maintain their usual diet and lifestyle without receiving a specific dietary intervention.

  • Low-Uric acid DietTreatment being tested

    The low-uric-acid diet is designed to provide a higher daily purine intake than a low-purine diet. Participants will receive dietary education to limit the consumption of red meat, organ meats, seafood, and alcohol, while emphasizing plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes.

  • DASH DietTreatment being tested

    \*\*DASH Diet:\*\* Participants will be encouraged to consume lean meats, selected fish, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, nuts, and legumes. They will also be asked to limit their intake of sodium, saturated fat, refined carbohydrates, and fatty meats.
