  1. Research is recommended to address uncertainties in the potential benefits to patients and the NHS of using VibraTip. Research is needed into the diagnostic accuracy of VibraTip compared with the 10 g monofilament and calibrated tuning fork in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy in people with diabetes. This research should also address the assessment of vibration perception compared with touch sensation in this clinical context.

  2. Research on second-line treatments for transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelial tract is needed. It noted that the vinflunine studies were the only studies in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelial tract whose disease had progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. It was noted that there is a lack of evidence for the relative effectiveness of treatment options at this stage in the pathway of care. It is recommended that studies be undertaken to investigate the relative safety and efficacy of second-line treatments for transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelial tract, particularly randomised controlled trials.

  8. NICE encourages further research on corticosteroid-eluting bioabsorbable stent or spacer insertion during endoscopic sinus surgery and, specifically, controlled studies designed for between-patient (rather than within-patient) comparisons. Outcomes should include symptom scores, quality of life and the need for retreatment in the long term. All complications should be reported. NICE may update this guidance on publication of further evidence.

  9. NICE encourages further research into endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for Barrett's oesophagus with no dysplasia. Studies should define clearly the policies used for histological diagnosis. Outcomes should include complete resolution of Barrett's oesophagus, change and progression to low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia or cancer. All complications should be reported, particularly development of strictures. Comparative studies against surveillance would be useful.

  10. NICE also considered the role of FeNO in guiding inhaled corticosteroid dosing through stepping-up and stepping-down protocols. It accepted there is a need for more evidence on which protocols offer the safest and most optimal asthma management when used in UK clinical practice. Therefore, further studies are recommended, with consideration for the different protocols and cut-off points that may be necessary in different populations.

  11. NICE encourages further research into radiofrequency treatment for haemorrhoids, preferably randomised controlled trials. It may update the guidance on publication of further evidence. Outcomes should include pain, secondary haemorrhage, recurrence rate, the need for repeat procedures and quality-of-life measures. Details of patient selection should also be reported.

NICE encourages further research on endovascular aneurysm sealing for abdominal aortic aneurysmthis procedure in the form of controlled clinical trials, observational studies and analysis of registry data. Details about patient selection, including anatomical details, should be clearly documented.Research should compare the procedure with conventional stent graft endovascular aneurysm repair. All complications should be reported. Long-term outcomes should be described as data become available. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.

  15. NICE also considered the role of FeNO measurement in asthma management. It accepted that currently available evidence on the use of FeNO measurement in asthma management is unclear on whether benefits of treatment are maintained long-term. NICE concluded that long-term studies following patients for several years could address this gap.
