  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. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Living-donor liver transplantation (HTG390)

    Evidence-based recommendations on living-donor liver transplantation. This involves replacing a diseased or damaged liver with a healthy one from a living human donor.

  7. Artificial anal sphincter implantation (HTG39)

    Evidence-based recommendations on artificial anal sphincter implantation. This involves placing a circular cuff under the skin around the anus.

  8. Implantation of a corneal graft–keratoprosthesis for severe corneal opacity in wet blinking eyes (HTG389)

    Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a corneal graft–keratoprosthesis for severe corneal opacity in wet blinking eyes. This involves inserting an artificial cornea surrounded by a corneal graft from a human donor.

  9. Preoperative high dose rate brachytherapy for rectal cancer (HTG383)

    Evidence-based recommendations on preoperative high dose rate brachytherapy for rectal cancers. This involves inserting an applicator into the rectum and using it to deliver radiation to the tumour.

  10. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depression (HTG382)

    Evidence-based recommendations on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depression. This involves electrical stimulation of the brain by applying a weak direct current to the scalp.

  11. Insertion of a double balloon catheter for induction of labour in pregnant women without previous caesarean section (HTG380)

    Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of a double balloon catheter for induction of labour in pregnant women without previous caesarean section. The catheter aims to help induction by causing dilation of the cervix when the cervix is unfavourable for induction. The double balloon squeezes the cervix and stimulates local prostaglandin release, which leads to cervical ripening.

  12. Subthalamotomy for Parkinson's disease (HTG38)

    Evidence-based recommendations on subthalamotomy for Parkinson's disease. This involves putting very thin needles into the brain through small holes made in the skull.

  13. Implantation of a sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation device for chronic cluster headache (HTG378)

    Evidence-based recommendations on implantation of a sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation device for chronic cluster headache. This involves implanting a device into the cheek to stimulate a group of nerves called the sphenopalatine ganglion.

  14. Electrotherapy for the treatment of haemorrhoids (HTG377)

    Evidence-based recommendations on electrotherapy for treating grade I to III haemorrhoids in adults. This involves using electric current to shrink the haemorrhoids.

  15. Suture fixation of acute disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (HTG374)

    Evidence-based recommendations on suture fixation of acute disruption of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. This involves threading a suture through a tunnel made in the bones (tibia and fibula) and tying the ends together to fix the joint.
