Claim 15:
16. A method for treatment of a nervous system, the method comprising:
providing a flexible catheter including two lumens adapted to allow a fluid to circulate therein in a closed loop within the flexible catheter, and a drainage lumen having one or more ports which communicate through the drainage lumen with an environment outside the flexible catheter, the flexible catheter being adapted to be connected to a device for cooling and circulating the fluid;
inserting the flexible catheter into the nervous system to place a portion of the flexible catheter in a cerebrospinal fluid space;
cooling cerebrospinal fluid with the flexible catheter to enable selective cooling of the nervous system;
draining cerebrospinal fluid through the drainage lumen in the flexible catheter to maintain a set pressure in the nervous system with positioning of a collection chamber based on anatomical landmarks; and
modifying the treatment of the nervous system to adjust for any change in a functional status of thoracic spinal cord evoked potentials of the nervous system relative to a functional status of a cervical spinal cord evoked potentials of the nervous system.
