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.
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.
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.
Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG318)
Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves using heat from electrodes to change the tissues in the oesophagus, with the aim of reducing symptoms.
Evidence-based recommendations on translaryngeal tracheostomy (TLT). This involves passing a tube from inside the windpipe to outside the neck to aid breathing.
