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.
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.
Joint distraction for knee osteoarthritis without alignment correction (HTG381)
Evidence-based recommendations on joint distraction for knee osteoarthritis without alignment correction. This involves fixing a metal frame around the knee to take weight off the joint and encourage the cartilage to repair itself.

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.
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.

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.
Evidence-based recommendations on electrotherapy for treating grade I to III haemorrhoids in adults. This involves using electric current to shrink the haemorrhoids.
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.
Radiofrequency ablation for gastric antral vascular ectasia (HTG373)
Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation for gastric antral vascular ectasia. This involves using radiofrequency (heat) energy to stop the bleeding by destroying the enlarged blood vessels.
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.
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.
Radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery (HTG72)
Evidence-based recommendations on radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery. This involves scarring the heart tissue using heat to interrupt abnormal electrical signals.

Temperature control to improve neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest (HTG710)
Evidence-based recommendations on temperature control to improve neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. This involves controlling a person’s body temperature while they are still unconscious after their heart has been restarted. Either their body is kept at a normal temperature of between 36.5°C and 37.5°C to prevent fever, or it is cooled to between 32.0°C and 36.0°C (therapeutic hypothermia).
