  1. Research is needed to establish the validity and accuracy of the SeHCAT (tauroselcholic [75selenium] acid) test and of any potential alternative technologies for measuring bile acid malabsorption in people with chronic diarrhoea diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) or Crohn's disease without ileal resection.

  3. Research is recommended to address uncertainties about the claimed benefits of using Mepilex Border Heel and Sacrum dressings. This research should also explore issues such as:- the incidence of heel and sacrum pressure ulcers in NHS acute care settings- criteria for patient selection to reduce pressure ulcer incidence with Mepilex Border Heel and Sacrum dressings in addition to standard care.NICE will consider reviewing this guidance when substantive new evidence becomes available.

  5. Research is needed to quantify the health outcome benefits associated with imaging improvements with the EOS system. Examples of such benefits might include reduced back pain or reduced postural difficulties in people with scoliosis, or longer lasting and less painful joint replacements. Although research into the use of the EOS system is appropriate for all the indications included in the scope, the research most likely to be useful is for planning hip and knee replacement, including patient selection, device selection, and surgical approach. Joint replacement operations are more common than the other indications and the EOS system is thought to be most likely to provide benefit to these patients.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
