Abstract
Systems, delivery devices, and methods to treat to ablate, damage, or otherwise affect nerve tissue such that reinnervation is inhibited. The treatment systems are capable of delivering energy to nerve tissue in a target region such that at least a portion of the nerve tissue is replaced by scar tissue or otherwise altered to inhibit reinnervation in the target region.
