TWIST score for testicular torsion in adults with scrotal pain
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and between 18 and 40 years old
- You have sudden (acute) pain or other symptoms in your scrotum
- You are visiting the emergency department for this pain
- Your pain is not caused by an injury or accident
- Your symptoms started less than one week ago
- You have not had any testicular surgery before

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 trial tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) can help relieve long-term scrotal pain. You would be part of a study that aims to find a new treatment option for this type of pain.
This study uses a special camera (thermal imaging) to look at temperature differences in the testicles of men who come to the emergency room with sudden pain. It aims to see if this can help doctors quickly find the cause of the pain, like infection or twisting (which needs emergency surgery).
