  1. Microwave ablation for treating liver metastases (HTG409)

    Evidence-based recommendations on microwave ablation for treating liver metastases in adults. This involves using heat energy to destroy cancer cells.

  2. Transcutaneous stimulation of the cervical branch of the vagus nerve for cluster headache and migraine (HTG408)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcutaneous stimulation of the cervical branch of the vagus nerve to treat cluster headache and migraine in adults. This involves using a small handheld device to stimulate a nerve in the neck.

  3. Corticosteroid-eluting bioabsorbable stent or spacer insertion during endoscopic sinus surgery to treat chronic rhinosinusitis (HTG407)

    Evidence-based recommendations on corticosteroid-eluting bioabsorbable stent or spacer insertion during endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis in adults. This involves putting a stent (short tube) into the sinus to improve drainage.

  4. Endoscopic carbon dioxide laser cricopharyngeal myotomy for relief of oropharyngeal dysphagia (HTG406)

    Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic carbon dioxide laser cricopharyngeal myotomy for relief of oropharyngeal dysphagia in adults. This involves inserting an endoscope (a thin, rigid tube with a camera on the end) through the mouth, and using a carbon dioxide laser to cut through the muscle that runs round the top of the gullet.

  5. Normothermic extracorporeal preservation of hearts for transplantation following donation after brainstem death (HTG404)

    Evidence-based recommendations on normothermic extracorporeal preservation of hearts for transplant after brainstem death. This technique is used to store a donor heart for longer before being transplanted.

  6. Mechanical clot retrieval for treating acute ischaemic stroke (HTG403)

    Evidence-based recommendations on mechanical clot retrieval for treating acute ischaemic stroke in adults. This involves using a device to remove the blood clot from the brain to restore normal blood flow.

  7. Angioplasty and stenting to treat peripheral arterial disease causing refractory erectile dysfunction (HTG402)

    Evidence-based recommendations on angioplasty and stenting to treat peripheral arterial disease causing refractory erectile dysfunction in adults. This involves using a device to improve blood flow to the penis.

  8. Balloon dilatation of pulmonary valve stenosis (HTG40)

    Evidence-based recommendations on balloon dilatation of pulmonary valve stenosis. This involves passing a small deflated balloon up through a blood vessel at the top of the leg and into the blocked area in the heart.

  9. Transurethral electrovaporisation of the prostate (HTG4)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transurethral electrovaporisation of the prostate (TURP) to treat benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). This involves using a high-voltage electrical current to vaporise some of the prostate.

  10. Percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency treatment of the intervertebral disc nucleus for low back pain (HTG399)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency treatment of the intervertebral disc nucleus for low back pain. This involves relieving low back pain by delivering heat energy to the damaged disc.

  11. 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.

  12. Unilateral MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for treatment-resistant essential tremor (HTG474)

    Evidence-based recommendations on unilateral MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for treatment-resistant essential tremor in adults. This involves applying ultrasound to a specific area on 1 side of the brain (thalamus).

  13. Intranasal phototherapy for allergic rhinitis (HTG473)

    Evidence-based recommendations on intranasal phototherapy for allergic rhinitis in adults. This involves using light to reduce inflammation inside the nose.

  14. Low-level laser therapy for preventing or treating oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy or chemotherapy (HTG472)

    Evidence-based recommendations on low-level laser therapy for preventing or treating oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy or chemotherapy. This involves applying low-energy lasers to the affected tissue.

  15. Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty for fetal critical aortic stenosis (HTG471)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty for fetal critical aortic stenosis. This involves placing a catheter into the baby’s heart, while the baby is still in the womb. The aim is to help the heart develop properly.
