Devices, systems and methods for evaluation and feedback of neuromodulation treatment

A method for renal neuromodulation treatment of a human patient via an electrode positioned within a renal artery of the patient, the method comprising:

• delivering radio frequency (RF) energy, via the electrode, to target renal nerves proximate the renal artery, wherein delivering RF energy comprises—
• increasing energy delivery to the electrode a predetermined first power level over a first period of time;
• maintaining energy delivery at the predetermined first power level for a second period of time;
• and
• increasing energy delivery to a predetermined second power level if the temperature value measured in or near the electrode is less than a preset threshold temperature following the second period of time,
• wherein the increase in energy delivery following the second period of time continues until the power level has reached a target maximum power threshold;
• and
• evaluating the renal neuromodulation treatment of the patient, wherein the evaluation comprises—
• obtaining a set of treatment data corresponding to a completed renal neuromodulation treatment;
• evaluating the set of treatment data in view of one or more criteria to determine if a valuation of the completed renal neuromodulation treatment is within a pre-determined range;
• and
• providing an indication as to whether the valuation of the completed renal neuromodulation treatment is within the pre-determined range.
