    1 Draft recommendations

    1.1 Evidence on the safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin type A injections into the urethral sphincter for idiopathic chronic non-obstructive urinary retention is inadequate in quality and quantity. So, this procedure should be used only in research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

    1.2 Further research should ideally be in the form of randomised controlled trials. Details of patient selection, the procedure and long-term outcomes should be reported.
