Abstract:
A medical device may include a stimulation member configured to apply a stimulus to a nerve that is configured to control a contraction of an airway distal to the nerve, and a measurement member configured to measure an effect of the stimulus on the airway. The medical device also may include an energy delivery element configured to deliver energy to tissue defining the airway to reduce an effect of the stimulus on the airway. The energy delivery element may be disposed at or distally of the stimulation member.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of treating a patient, comprising:\n applying stimulus to a nerve, at different times, at a plurality of stimulation locations; during each stimulation, simultaneously measuring an effect of a respective stimulus on each of a plurality of body lumens at one or more measurement locations within each body lumen, each body lumen being spaced apart from or distal to a respective stimulation location of the plurality of stimulation locations; selecting a plurality of treatment locations in the patient when the measured effect of at least one stimulus is greater than a threshold value at a given measurement location, wherein selecting a plurality of treatment locations includes selecting some of the stimulation locations and some measurement locations to receive therapeutic energy; and applying therapeutic energy to tissue at the selected plurality of treatment locations.
