Additionally, migraines are 3 times more likely to occur in women than men, affecting 30% of women over a lifetime. (American Migraine Foundation)

Lowering your serum uric acid may help decrease attacks.
Over-the-counter medicine for pain and swelling will do little
to control your serum uric acid level. If your uric acid level
is not well managed, your gout attacks can become
more frequent and more painful.
Join this research study and receive study-related medical care for your gout. As a study participant you will receive:
- close monitoring of your gout
- investigational medication at no cost
- study-related medical care and tests at no cost
You may also be provided compensation to cover your time and travel expenses.
You should know that:
- you don't need to be having a gout attack now to participate
- the study doctor will see you monthly over the next 6 to 14 months
- your medical information is kept strictly confidential, unless given your permission or except as required by law
Now is the time to act! |
