When Your Joints Need Quick Relief

An acute gout attack often strikes suddenly, severely, and at night. The affected joints become intensely painful, swollen, and hot – making immediate relief essential. The goals are clear:

• Relieve pain

• Combat inflammation

• Reduce swelling

But why does such an “attack” occur? Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated uric acid levels in the blood. This leads to the formation of uric acid crystals that accumulate in the joints. An acute flare-up is often triggered by purine-rich foods or alcohol consumption. If left untreated, gout can develop into chronic gout, resulting in severe pain, joint deformities, and persistent inflammation.

The good news: Despite the intense pain, gout is generally well manageable. The primary focus in treating an acute gout attack is to quickly stop the inflammatory process. Afterward, restoring normal uric acid levels becomes crucial.

Below, we provide an overview of treatment approaches – from proper nutrition to acute cold therapy, which can effectively reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

This is where our cooling gel, Kalter Bruder®, comes into play. With its long-lasting and powerful cooling effect, it provides fast relief exactly where you need it!

1. Diet & Lifestyle

An appropriate diet and a healthy lifestyle play a crucial role in managing gout. A low-purine diet can help lower uric acid levels in the blood and reduce the risk of gout attacks. Foods rich in purines, such as meat, shellfish, and especially organ meats, should be avoided, while dairy products, fruits, and vegetables are recommended.

Alcohol consumption, especially beer, should be significantly reduced or completely avoided, as alcohol inhibits uric acid excretion and leads to an increase in uric acid levels. In addition to diet, reducing fructose intake can also contribute to improved uric acid regulation. Fructose, particularly found in soft...

2. Physical activity

Regular, moderate exercise can have a positive impact on gout by stimulating metabolism and supporting uric acid excretion. An active lifestyle also helps prevent or reduce excess weight, which benefits the joints and further lowers the risk of gout attacks.

Low-impact activities such as swimming, cycling, or light gymnastics are particularly recommended, as they are gentle on the joints. Physical activity also improves joint mobility and overall joint health, which is crucial for gout management.

However, it is important to ensure that exercise is performed gently and without overloading the joints to avoid additional strain. Finding the right balance...

3. Pharmacological Therapy

Medication is a key component in the treatment of gout, especially during acute gout attacks. In such cases, drugs like colc****, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or glucocorticoids are commonly used to quickly reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Prompt and targeted treatment is crucial to shorten the duration of an attack and alleviate joint stress.

However, caution is advised with certain painkillers that can increase uric acid levels and potentially trigger a gout attack. This includes medications containing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

In the long term, continuous medication therapy may be necessary to permanently lower uric acid levels and prevent recurrent attacks. Two...

4. Cold therapy

Targeted cooling can effectively help relieve pain and combat inflammation in the affected joint during an acute gout attack. Cold slows down the inflammatory process and reduces the activity of pain receptors, providing rapid relief from discomfort. Gentle, consistent cooling penetrates deep into the tissue, reaching inflamed structures and preventing the so-called “reactive hyperemia” – a counter-reaction of the body to excessive cold, which can weaken the desired effect.

However, the benefits of cold therapy only unfold when cooling is long-lasting and evenly applied. Superficial or overly cold applications with ice packs may provide temporary relief, but...
