Teens at risk: study probes why they delay testicular torsion care
NCT ID NCT07554313
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 reasons for delay, such as embarrassment or fear. The goal is to find out what barriers keep them from getting help sooner, so that future awareness efforts can be more effective.
