Methods and Systems for Locating and Treating Nerves With Cold Therapy

A cryo-stimulation treatment device, comprising:

• a needle having a proximal end and a distal end and a length therebetween, the needle configured to produce a cold zone for focused cold therapy, the needle having a cooling center along the length of the needle that is associated with a center of the cold zone produced by the needle;
• an electrically insulated coating disposed about the length of the needle, wherein the needle is electrically conductive and wherein the proximal end of the needle is configured to couple with an electrical nerve stimulation generator that generates an electrical field about the distal end of the needle for electrically stimulating and locating a target nerve;
• and
• a handle defined by a housing, wherein the needle is part of a replaceable needle assembly configured for releaseable attachment to the handle, wherein the replaceable needle assembly comprises an electrical port that electrically couples with the proximal end of the needle, the electrical port configured to receive an input associated with the electrical nerve stimulation generator to electrically couple the electrical nerve stimulation generator and the needle;
• wherein the cooling center of the needle has an intensity of the electrical field that is co-incident with the center of the cold zone produced by the needle.
