The treatment of gout is based on the principles of rapid relief of joint swelling and pain during the acute phase and reduction of uric acid levels during the intermittent and remission phases, with the aim of reducing the frequency of acute gout attacks, preventing the formation of uric acid stones and reducing organ damage. At present, it mainly includes general treatment, drug treatment and other treatments, among which drug treatment is the main modality. General treatment mainly includes patient education, making patients understand the disease correctly, eliminating fear, advising patients to follow medical advice, regular follow-up, understanding the necessity of long-term follow-up, as well as low purine diet, drinking more water, keeping bowels and stools open, avoiding late nights and strenuous sports. Medication is the main treatment for gout. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine and glucocorticoids can be used during acute attacks. The intermittent and remission periods require the use of uric acid production inhibitors or uric acid excretory drugs. For patients who already have gout stones or kidney complications, treatment is also required depending on the extent of the condition. Other treatments for gout are mainly surgical. For gout stones that are huge and affect the appearance and function of the joints, they can be removed surgically, or if the joints are severely deformed and affect function, they can be corrected surgically. In addition, Chinese medicine also has a certain role in the treatment of gout, such as delaying the progress of the disease and reducing the adverse drug reactions. At present, drug therapy is still the main treatment, but due to the high incidence of gout, early diagnosis and early treatment are advocated, and patient education should be emphasized to avoid frequent attacks of acute gout as much as possible.
