Ultrasound with computer help for testicular appendix torsion in children
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses a computer program to help doctors read ultrasound images of the scrotum to spot a condition called testicular appendix torsion (twisting of a small piece of tissue near the testicle). It may help diagnose this painful condition more quickly and accurately in young people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or younger.
- You must have had an ultrasound because of sudden pain in the scrotum within the last 24 hours.
- A doctor must have diagnosed you with testicular appendix torsion (twisting of a tiny tissue near the testicle).
- The ultrasound images must be clear enough for doctors to see the testicular structures.
- Your medical records must be complete enough to confirm the diagnosis.

This study tests whether ultrasound done in the emergency room can better diagnose testicular torsion, a painful twisting of the testicle that can cause lasting damage. If the ultrasound works well, it could lead to faster and more accurate treatment.
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 study uses a special light sensor to check blood flow in the testicles of boys who come to the ER with sudden scrotal pain. It aims to see if this painless device can help doctors tell if the testicle is twisted (a medical emergency) without needing an operation right away.
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 trial uses a special camera to measure heat in the scrotum to help doctors quickly tell if testicular pain is from a serious condition like twisting (torsion) or something less urgent. It might help you get faster and more accurate care.
This study tests a simulation-based training to help medical students learn how to examine children's testicles. It aims to improve their skills and confidence during their pediatric training.
