First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests a new, non-invasive light-based device (SR-NIRS) to measure blood flow and oxygen in the testicles of boys aged 1 month to 18 years. It includes healthy children and those with sudden scrotal pain to see if the device can tell the difference between testicular torsion and other causes. The goal is to find a faster, easier way to diagnose torsion without surgery or ultrasound.
