  1. Percutaneous electrothermal treatment of the intervertebral disc annulus for low back pain and sciatica (HTG398)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous electrothermal treatment of the intervertebral disc annulus for low back pain and sciatica. This involves delivering heat energy to the damaged disc annulus.

  2. Percutaneous coblation of the intervertebral disc for low back pain and sciatica (HTG397)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous coblation of the intervertebral disc for low back pain and sciatica. This involves using heat from an electrode to destroy the tissue.

  3. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression (HTG396)

    Evidence-based recommendations on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression. This involves placing an electromagnetic coil against the scalp, which creates electric currents in certain parts of the brain.

  4. Electrical stimulation of the lower oesophageal sphincter for treating gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG395)

    Evidence-based recommendations on electrical stimulation of the lower oesophageal sphincter for treating gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves applying low-energy electrical impulses to the sphincter to strengthen the muscle so that less reflux happens.

  5. Radiofrequency ablation for symptomatic interdigital (Morton's) neuroma (HTG394)

    Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation for symptomatic interdigital (Morton’s) neuroma. This involves using pulses of radiofrequency heat energy to damage the nerve, with the aim of reducing pain.

  6. Joint distraction for ankle osteoarthritis (HTG393)

    Evidence-based recommendations on joint distraction for ankle osteoarthritis in adults. This involves fixing a metal frame around the ankle and pulling the joint slightly apart using the frame to allow cartilage regrowth.

  7. Insertion of a subretinal prosthesis system for retinitis pigmentosa (HTG392)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a subretinal prosthesis system for retinitis pigmentosa. This involves performing a vitrectomy and implanting a microchip underneath the macula using a transscleral, then subretinal approach.

  8. Sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathic chronic non-obstructive urinary retention (HTG391)

    Evidence-based recommendations on sacral nerve stimulation for idiopathic chronic non-obstructive urinary retention. This involves implanting a stimulator device into the upper buttock to restore the ability to empty the bladder voluntarily.

  9. Insertion of an epiretinal prosthesis for retinitis pigmentosa (HTG372)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of an epiretinal prosthesis for retinitis pigmentosa. This involves inserting an implant into the eye that receives data from a small camera on the person's glasses and then stimulates healthy cells in the retina to see basic images.

  10. Insertion of endobronchial nitinol coils to improve lung function in emphysema (HTG370)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of endobronchial nitinol coils to improve lung function in emphysema. This involves inserting coils to reduce airflow to damaged parts of the lung.

  11. Sacral nerve stimulation for urge incontinence and urgency-frequency (HTG37)

    Evidence-based recommendations on sacral nerve stimulation for urge incontinence and urgency-frequency. This involves placing electrodes and connecting them to an implantable pulse generator.

  12. Implantation of a left ventricular assist device for destination therapy in people ineligible for heart transplantation (HTG369)

    Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a left ventricular assist device for destination therapy in people ineligible for heart transplantation.

  13. Flexible endoscopic treatment of a pharyngeal pouch (HTG367)

    Evidence-based recommendations on flexible endoscopic treatment of a pharyngeal pouch. This involves improving swallowing by widening the neck of the pouch so that food does not collect in it.

  14. Implantation of a shock or load absorber for mild to moderate symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis (HTG366)

    Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a shock or load absorber for mild to moderate symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis.

  15. Open reduction of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (HTG365)

    Evidence-based recommendations on open reduction of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. This involves fixxing a slipped capital femoral epiphysis back into its correct position to reduce the risk of avascular necrosis.
