Method and apparatus for diagnosing and treating neural dysfunction

A system for use in delivering therapeutic treatment energy to nerve locations, the system configured to selectively produce power at a stimulate frequency in a stimulate mode, and at an RF therapeutic frequency in a therapeutic mode, the system comprising:

• an RF energy source having an RF output;
• at least one electrode output adapted to receive temperature information from and provide RF energy to a probe attached thereto;
• and
• a user interface providing a mode select interface configured to select from a plurality of settings, wherein,
• in a stimulate mode setting of the mode select interface, power at a stimulate frequency, which is lower than the RF therapeutic frequency, is selectively coupled to a single one of the at least one electrode output, and
• in a therapeutic mode setting of the mode select interface, power at an RF frequency is coupled to one or more of the at least one electrode output,
• and the user interface further providing a sensory stimulation graph for use in the stimulation mode to display a line, the length of which indicates a stimulation sensory threshold and a display for use in the therapeutic mode for actual temperatures reported to the at least one electrode output.

• at least one electrode output adapted to receive temperature information from and provide RF energy to a probe attached thereto;
• a log button for use in a stimulation mode activatable to identify a stimulation sensory threshold for saving;
• and
• a user interface providing a mode select interface configured to select from a plurality of settings, wherein,
• in a setting for the stimulate mode, power at a stimulate frequency, which is lower than the RF therapeutic frequency, is selectively coupled to a single one of the at least one electrode output, and
• in a therapeutic mode setting of the mode select interface, power at an RF frequency is coupled to one or more of the at least one of electrode output,
• and the user interface further providing a display for the saved stimulation sensory threshold and a display for use in the therapeutic mode for actual temperatures reported to the at least one electrode output.
