  1. NICE encourages clinicians to enter patients into research studies with the particular aims of guiding selection of patients and of defining the place of percutaneous balloon cryoablation in relation to other procedures for treating atrial fibrillation. Further research should define patient selection criteria clearly and should document adverse events and long-term control of atrial fibrillation.

  2. NICE encourages further data collection, including randomised controlled trials on microstructural scaffold insertion without autologous cell implantation for repairing symptomatic chondral knee defects. Studies should clearly describe patient selection, clinical indications and adjunctive treatments. Outcome measures should include symptom relief, functional ability, long-term outcomes measured by appropriate imaging techniques and patient-reported outcomes.

  3. NICE encourages further research and data collection on endoscopic full thickness removal of non-lifting colonic polyps and may update the guidance on publication of further evidence. This should include safety and efficacy outcomes such as perforation, bleeding, the need for immediate re-intervention, inadequate resection and longer-term follow-up of patients found to have malignant disease.

  4. NICE encourages further research and data collection on partial replacement of the meniscus of the knee using a biodegradable scaffold. This should include clear descriptions of patient selection and adjunctive treatments. Outcome measures should include symptom relief and functional ability in the short term and the need for further treatment in the longer term.

  5. NICE encourages further research and publication of results from consecutive case series of patients having this procedure. Details of patient selection should be clearly documented. Reported outcomes should include the effects of the procedure on symptoms and quality of life, the duration of benefits, and the need for further procedures. All complications should be reported. NICE may review this procedure in the light of longer-term outcomes.

  6. NICE encourages further research and publication on efficacy of miniature lens system implantation for advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which patients may benefit and on safety and efficacy outcomes, particularly longer-term results. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.

  7. NICE encourages further research comparing autologous blood injections (with or without techniques to produce platelet-rich plasma) against established nonsurgical methods for managing tendinopathy. Trials should clearly describe patient selection (including the site of tendinopathy, duration of symptoms and any prior treatments) and document whether a 'dry needling' technique is used. Outcomes should include specific measures of pain, quality of life and function, and whether subsequent surgical intervention is needed.

  9. NICE encourages further research into focal cryoablation for localised prostate cancer. This should take the form of controlled studies comparing the procedure against other forms of management. Studies should clearly define patient selection criteria and should report outcomes including local recurrence in the long term.

  10. NICE encourages further research into the efficacy of MRI-guided transcutaneous focused ultrasound for uterine fibroids. Research studies should report long-term outcomes, including the need for further treatment. Data on the incidence and outcomes of subsequent pregnancy in patients who choose this procedure because they wish to maintain or improve their fertility are particularly important.

  12. NICE encourages further research into the use of a wireless capsule to assess motility of the gastrointestinal tract. Studies should include clear details of patient selection. They should report on the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, and should provide data on the clinical benefits of the procedure for patients.

  15. NICE encourages further research into transapical transcatheter mitral valvein-ring implantation after failed annuloplasty for mitral valve repair. Studies should include details on patient selection, type and size of valve used, functional outcomes (New York Heart Association functional class, mitral valve regurgitation), quality of life, patient-reported outcome measures, survival and complications. Studies should report long-term follow up of clinical outcomes and valve durability. NICE may update this guidance on publication of further evidence.
