Claim One:
1. A method of treating a nerve in a tissue region, the method comprising: positioning a working end of a device into the tissue region, where the device includes an energy delivery mode and a stimulation mode, where the stimulation mode comprises at least a first parameter setting that stimulates the nerve within a first distance from the working end, and a second parameter setting that stimulates the nerve within a second distance from the working end; stimulating the nerve at the first parameter setting; repositioning the working end of the device in the tissue region to move the working end closer to the nerve; activating the device in the stimulation mode at the second parameter setting to observe stimulation of the nerve and confirm positioning of the working end of the device closer to the nerve; and activating the device in the energy delivery mode to create a first treatment location on the nerve; repositioning the working end of the device on a distal section of the nerve between a muscle controlled by the nerve and the first treatment location; and activating the device in the energy delivery mode to create a second treatment location on the nerve.
