Answer

The treatment of gout involves both the management of acute flares and long-term urate-lowering therapy.

Management of acute flares

Long-term urate-lowering therapy

Lifestyle interventions

  • Lifestyle interventions: Although lifestyle interventions are often recommended in the management of chronic gout, the evidence from trial data of the benefits and safety of using lifestyle interventions for treating acute gout attacks is limited

In conclusion, the treatment of gout involves a combination of managing acute flares with anti-inflammatory agents and long-term urate-lowering therapy. The choice of treatment should be individualized based on patient factors and preferences.
