Learning to check children's testicles with a simulation model
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial is for medical students who want to learn how to gently feel a child's testicles using a special model (simulation). It's a short training session to see if this method helps students learn better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a medical student in a pediatric, pediatric surgery clerkship, or at a simulation center.
- You have not had any previous simulation training in examining the external genitalia of children.

This study compares two surgical methods for fixing undescended testicles that cannot be felt during a physical exam. The goal is to see which technique leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at whether environmental exposures and hormone disruption are linked to undescended testicles in children. It may help researchers better understand causes and risk factors, which could improve future care for affected families.
This study tests a surgical technique (called the Shehata technique) for boys with an undescended testicle that is located inside the belly. It aims to move the testicle to the scrotum and help it develop normally.
This study tests a new light-based scanner (called SR-NIRS) to help doctors quickly identify testicular torsion—a twisted testicle that needs emergency surgery. The scanner is painless and might help avoid unnecessary ultrasounds or surgery.
This trial is testing a new way to teach doctors how to treat a type of hernia in children. It aims to help children with a strangulated inguinal hernia, where part of the intestine gets trapped, get the right care quickly.
This trial uses a virtual reality birth simulator to help 4th-year medical students learn about childbirth. It aims to see if this training method is better than traditional teaching.
