NCT ID NCT07499024
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 unnecessary ultrasounds and speed up care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a reliable, quick way to rule out testicular torsion without needing an ultrasound, saving time and resources.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The tool was designed for children, so it may not work as well in adults. Results are still being collected.
