Detailed assessment is needed, also considering bowel and sexual dysfunction, with timely referral to neurology to reduce preventable progression of disease. In neurological assessment, control of micturition is often poorly characterized compared with other aspects of spinal cord function and the cranial nerves. Screening tools may be used to identify people who have increased likelihood of particular conditions, but currently available tools are either single\u2010system or population specific. In addition to the general pelvic examination, the assessment of sacral reflexes and pelvic sensations can suggest a neurological mechanism, though the sensitivity and specificity of the neuro\u2010urological examination is unknown. Including the results of the neuro\u2010perineal examination in the urodynamic report may improve the interpretation of the results and potentially support a neurological aetiology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Future research should consider the value of neuro\u2010urological examination in diagnosis of occult neurological disease, the development of an occult neurology screening tool\/risk scoring based on pelvic organ symptoms, and appropriateness of non\u2010neurologist practitioners requesting neurological investigations such as MRI scanning.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Trial Registration<\/jats:title><jats:p>Does not apply.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.70028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]],"date-time":"2025-03-12T05:02:26Z","timestamp":1741755746000},"page":"609-615","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Can We Improve Our Routine Urological Assessment to Exclude Neurogenic Causes for Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction?
