Testicular torsion diagnosis with ultrasound in the ER
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound done in the emergency room can quickly and accurately diagnose testicular torsion (a twisting of the testicle that cuts off blood flow). If you have sudden pain in one testicle, this test may help doctors decide on the right treatment faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and between 16 and 70 years old.
- You have pain in one testicle that started within the last 72 hours.
- You are being seen at the Roubaix Hospital emergency department.
- There is a doctor there who is trained to do testicular ultrasound.
- You have not had any surgery, injury, or twisting of that same testicle in the past month.
- You have not been in this study before and you agree to take part.

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 study checks how well a scoring tool (TWIST) can tell if testicular torsion is likely in adults with sudden scrotal pain. If you have sudden pain in your scrotum, you may be eligible to help test this tool in the emergency room.
This trial tests a new computer program that helps doctors read ultrasound images to find testicular appendix torsion (a twist of a tiny piece of tissue near the testicle) in children and teens who have sudden scrotal pain. It aims to see if the program can diagnose it faster and more accurately.
This study looks back at teenagers who had surgery for testicular torsion (a twisted testicle) to understand why some waited longer than others before getting help. Learning about these delays may help doctors and families recognize this emergency faster in the future.
This study uses a quick bedside ultrasound (called PoCUS) to help doctors diagnose chest or belly pain in the emergency room. If you join, you'll get this ultrasound early in your visit to see if it helps find the cause of your pain faster and more accurately.
This trial is checking a quick bedside blood test (troponin) for people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. It aims to see if the test can help doctors decide faster if you are having a heart attack.
