Understanding Delays in Testicular Torsion Treatment for Teens
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 trial tests if a special ultrasound with contrast dye can better diagnose ovarian torsion (twisted ovary). It may help women get faster, more accurate treatment.
This study looks back at the medical records of transgender young people who began gender-affirming care at Strasbourg University Hospital before age 18. It helps doctors understand their experiences and improve future care.
