In this issue of the Journal, Bhuiyan and Kim [3] illustrated the likelihood of an overview with ishemic brain lesion associated with voiding dysfunction and possibility of applying cerebral preconditioning to urologic field. In ischemically damaged brain, detrusor overactivity seems to be from a deactivation of prefrontal cortex, but detrusor dysfunction is affected by various parts of brain. Localization of the ischemic lesion is not associated with any specific type of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Furthermore, it is suggested that the changes of neurotransmitters release after ichemic brain damage may affect the voiding dysfunction. Now, in Urology, first-line treatments for voiding dysfunction include lifestyle modification, behavioral therapy and pelvic floor muscle training. Muscarinic receptor antagonists are the first-line drug therapy. However, they are related to the typical anticholinergic side effects of dry mouth, somnolence, constipation and blurred vision, therefore compliance with therapy becomes often poor, and the improvement of quality of life fails. In addition, this issue introduces several neurotransmitters release during ischemic stroke associated with neuronal membrane receptors; excitatory amino acids such as the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid receptors and major inhibitory neurotransmitter system such as pharmacological stimulation of the γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic system. However, agents with this profile and even with these mechanisms applied are not under development currently much more. If the further studies focused on preconditioning strategy and related interventions, such as remote preconditioning and pharmacological preconditioning, revealed the way urologist want them to, they would make a valuable contribution to the treatment of voiding dysfunction for which there is an urgent and the future demands for effective therapy. The efforts of academic and drug industry researchers should be directed toward developing agents with therapeutic effects on CNS and associated preconditioning, as it would be not only scientifically also clinically rewarding.
