AIMS: To report the conclusion of the Think Thank on Neurourology discussions during the first ICI-RS meeting in 2009. METHODS: During a 3-day meeting a group of specialists discussed evidence-based medicine in neurourology and made suggestions for future research. RESULTS: In the vast majority of patients with neurological disease bladder dysfunction occurs. The actual rules of diagnosis and treatment lack a study related evidence base. From a long list of possible research subjects, prevalence, detrusor pressure, imaging, catheterization and surgery have been first discussed. CONCLUSION: In each of these subjects, research items are suggested which can help to improve the care in this patient group. (c) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
