Treatment can include Endovenous Thermal Ablation using radiofrequency or laser energy, vein stripping, ambulatory phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy, lasers, or compression.

* Radiofrequency Ablation ( see Coblation tonsillectomy ): This procedure produces an ionized saline layer that disrupts molecular bonds without using heat.

* Wastage or Ablation, where the sum of melting and evaporation ( sublimation ) is greater than the amount of snow added each year.

LASIK is similar to other surgical corrective procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy ( PRK ), ( also called ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation ).

Ablation is a process that includes sublimation and erosive wear of glacier ice.

Ablation is removal of material from the surface of an object by vaporization, chipping, or other erosive processes.

Ablation of brain tissue is used for treating certain neurological disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease, and sometimes for psychiatric disorders as well.

Ablation of the isthmus, as discussed above, is a common treatment for typical atrial flutter.

Newer methods for treating varicose veins such as Endovenous Thermal Ablation ( endovenous laser treatment or radiofrequency ablation ), and foam sclerotherapy are not as well studied, especially in the longer term.

There are multiple methods for sweat gland removal or destruction such as sweat gland suction, retrodermal currettage, and axillary liposuction, Vaser, or Laser Sweat Ablation.

* Ablation cascade, a possible catastrophic orbital event ( see Kessler syndrome )

Another procedure termed Holmium Laser Ablation of the Prostate ( HoLAP ) has also been gaining acceptance around the world.

Ablation mechanism firing sequence.

; Ablation: wastage of the glacier through sublimation, ice melting and iceberg calving.

; Ablation zone: Area of a glacier in which the annual loss of ice through ablation exceeds the annual gain from precipitation.

; < span id =" ablation_zone "> Ablation zone </ span >: The area of a glacier where yearly melting meets or exceeds the annual snow fall.

Ablation or deactivating of the amygdala can prevent both the learning and expression of fear.

Ablation near the electrode in a flashtube.

Ablation refers to the melting of snow or ice that runs off the glacier, evaporation, sublimation, calving, or erosive removal of snow by wind.

Ablation can refer either to the processes removing ice and snow or to the quantity of ice and snow removed.

There exist some exposed nunataks and a few ice free areas, i. e. Ablation Point Massif, of significant size.

Ablation ( surface melting ) tends to result in surface pooling.

Ablation has been shown to be highly effective: around 90 % effective in eliminating AVNRT.

Gene therapy using an Adenovirus vector.

Gene therapy may be used for treating, or even curing, genetic and acquired diseases like cancer and AIDS by using normal genes to supplement or replace defective genes or to bolster a normal function such as immunity.

Lazarus, seeking to optimize the efficacy of therapy and effect durable treatment using cognitive and behavioral methods, developed a new form of therapy called multimodal therapy, based on CBT, but also including interpersonal relationships, biological factors, physical sensations ( as distinct from emotional states ), and visual images ( as distinct from language-based thinking ).

Recently, direct stem cell therapy of the heart muscle using bone marrow cell transplantation has been shown to dramatically reduce risks of heart failure in Chagas patients.

Mechanisms are also taught in traditional therapy to compensate for lost language function such as drawing and using phrases that are easier to pronounce.

Constraint-induced movement therapy is based on the idea that a person with an impairment ( physical or communicative ) develops a " learned nonuse " by compensating for the lost function with other means such as using an unaffected limb by a paralyzed individual or drawing by a patient with aphasia.

However, it has been seen that continued recovery is possible years after a stroke with effective treatment using methods such as constraint-induced aphasia therapy.

Photodynamic therapy ( PDT ) is generally a non-invasive treatment using a combination of light and a photosensitive drug, such as 5-ALA, Foscan, Metvix, Tookad, WST09, WST11, Photofrin, or Visudyne.

Gene therapy using an Adenovirus vector.

The most common form of gene therapy involves using DNA that encodes a functional, therapeutic gene in order to replace a mutated gene.

Since then, over 1, 700 clinical trials have been conducted using a number of techniques for gene therapy.

Therefore this has been recognized as a plausible strategy for gene therapy, by removing the viral DNA and using the virus as a vehicle to deliver the therapeutic DNA.

in 1992 Doctor Claudio Bordignon working at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy performed the first procedure of gene therapy using hematopoietic stem cells as vectors to deliver genes intended to correct hereditary diseases.

In May 2008, three groups reported positive results using gene therapy to treat Leber's Congenital Amaurosis ( LCA ), a rare inherited retinal degenerative disorder that causes blindness in children.

In September 2009, the journal Nature reported that researchers at the University of Washington and University of Florida were able to give trichromatic vision to squirrel monkeys using gene therapy, a hopeful precursor to a treatment for color blindness in humans.

Multigene or multifactorial disorders such as these would be especially difficult to treat effectively using gene therapy.

At the more advanced level, using constraint-induced movement therapy will encourage overall function and use of the affected limb.

A 1996 meta-analysis studying hypnosis combined with cognitive-behavioural therapy found that people using both treatments lost more weight than people using CBT alone.

* easy delivery of multiple insulin injections for those using intensive insulin therapy.

In her book The Shock Doctrine, author and social activist Naomi Klein criticized Friedman's ideology and the principles that guided the economic restructuring that followed the military coups in countries such as Chile and Indonesia, drawing analogies between the way that Friedman proposed using the social " shock " of the coups to create an economic " blank slate " with Ewen Cameron's controversial medical experiments that used electroshock therapy to create a mental " blank slate " in patients with mental disorders.

Morphine is also used in slow release formulations for opiate substitution therapy ( OST ) in Austria, Bulgaria, and Slovenia, for addicts who cannot tolerate the side effects of using either methadone or buprenorphine, or for addicts who are " not held " by buprenorphine or methadone.

Work by Vilayanur S. Ramachandran using mirror box therapy allows for illusions of movement and touch in a phantom limb which in turn cause a reduction in pain.
