When the joints need quick help.

An acute attack of gout usually occurs quickly, violently and at night. The affected joints are very painful, swollen and become hot - now quick help is essential, which means:

  • relieve the pain
  • fight the inflammation
  • reduce swelling.

But why does such an "attack" occur? In the metabolic disorder gout, the uric acid level in the blood is increased, causing uric acid crystals to form and ultimately deposit in the joints. An acute attack is usually triggered by food rich in purines or alcohol. If gout is not treated, the condition of chronic gout develops. The consequences for those affected are devastating: severe pain, deformities, and inflammation.

The good news is that as painful as gout may be, it is generally relatively easy to treat. The main focus of treating an acute gout attack is to quickly stop the inflammatory processes. After that, the uric acid levels must be brought back into balance.

Below we give a rough overview of the therapy approaches: Starting with the right diet through to acute cold therapy, which can stop the inflammation and relieve pain.

This is where our cooling gel Kalter Bruder® comes in: It provides quick help with its long-lasting and strong cooling effect!

1. Diet & Lifestyle

An appropriate diet and a healthy lifestyle play a central role in dealing with gout. A low-purine diet can lower the uric acid level in the blood and thus reduce the risk of gout attacks. Foods rich in purines such as meat, crustaceans and especially offal should be avoided, while dairy products, fruit and vegetables are recommended. Alcohol consumption, especially beer, should also be greatly reduced or avoided completely, as alcohol inhibits the excretion of uric acid and thus causes uric acid levels to rise.

In addition to diet, reducing fructose...

2. Physical activity

Regular, moderate exercise can have a positive effect on gout, as it stimulates the metabolism and supports the excretion of uric acid. An active lifestyle also helps to avoid or lose excess weight, which is good for the joints and further reduces the risk of gout attacks. Activities that are particularly gentle on the joints, such as swimming, cycling or light gymnastics, are particularly recommended.

The mobility and health of the joints are also improved, which is crucial in the case of gout. However, care should be taken to exercise gently...

3. Drug therapy

Drug treatment is a central component of gout therapy, especially in acute gout attacks. In such cases, colc****, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or glucocorticosteroids are often used to quickly relieve inflammation and reduce pain. Fast and targeted treatment is crucial to shorten the course of an attack and relieve the joint.

However, caution is advised with painkillers that can lead to an increase in uric acid levels and thus even promote a gout attack. These include painkillers containing the active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid.

In the long term, long-term drug therapy may...

4. Cold therapy

In the case of an acute attack of gout, targeted cooling helps to relieve pain and fight inflammation in the affected joint. The cold slows down the inflammatory process and reduces the activity of the pain receptors, which can quickly alleviate the symptoms. Constant, gentle cooling penetrates deep into the tissue, reaches the inflamed structures and prevents what is known as "reactive hyperemia" - a counter-reaction of the body that often follows too intense cold and weakens the effect.

However, the effect is only achieved if the cooling is long-lasting and...
