Spermatic cord torsion

This study offers boys aged 0-17 the chance to freeze testicular tissue before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or radiation that could cause permanent infertility. The tissue is stored for potential future use to achieve pregnancy. Researchers will track whether transplan…

This study is testing whether a simple scoring system called TWIST can accurately rule out testicular torsion in adult men with sudden scrotal pain. Researchers will enroll 1,000 men aged 18-40 at Swedish emergency departments. If the score works, it could reduce the need for unn…

This study tests a new imaging method using a safe dye called indocyanine green (ICG) to quickly tell if a child's testicular pain is due to torsion (twisted testicle) or something else. About 85% of children who have surgery for testicular pain don't actually have torsion. The g…

This study at the National Institutes of Health is looking at 1,000 adults with known or suspected hormone gland (endocrine) disorders. The goal is to better understand these conditions and help train doctors. Participants may receive tests, treatments, or surgery as part of thei…

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study looks at why teenagers aged 10 to 18 wait more than 6 hours before going to the hospital for testicular torsion, a painful emergency that can damage the testicle. Researchers will ask 150 teens who had surgery for this condition to fill out a questionnaire about their …

This study enrolls adults with known or suspected endocrine (hormone gland) disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, to help researchers learn more about these conditions. Participants will undergo medical exams, blood and imaging tests, and possibly genetic testing. The m…

This study is testing a tool called B-COMPASS that uses a 22-question survey to predict whether people will follow their prescribed treatments. Researchers will enroll 3100 adults with cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, nerve, cancer, or rare diseases across Europe. The goal is t…
