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. Neurourol. Urodynam. 29:662–669, 2010. Copyright © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
