Ablation devices and methods are provided that allow for monitoring and control of temperature, pressure and position of ablating probes to achieve a more precise destruction of the nerve tissue and other soft tissue in a minimally invasive procedure. The ablation devices comprise at least a probe configured to generate pressure and temperature for ablating unwanted soft tissue and/or nerve tissue and at least one monitoring device coupled to the probe for recording and regulating temperature, pressure and position of the probe. The ablation devices can also include at least one imaging device coupled to the probe for identifying the area to be subjected to ablation. The ablation device includes a computer system coupled to the probe and programmed with software adapted to receive real or retrospective time data from the monitoring device and/or at least one imaging device configured to calculate optimal temperature, pressure, and position for the probe.
