1. A method for acutely treating a condition or symptom of a patient comprising:
- introducing an electrode through a percutaneous penetration in a patient to a target location adjacent to, or in close proximity with, the carotid sheath of the patient; and
applying an electrical impulse through the electrode to a selected nerve to modulate the selective nerve and acutely treat the condition or symptom of the patient.

Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for applying electrical impulse(s) to one or more selected nerves in or around the carotid sheath are described. An electrode assembly is introduced through a percutaneous penetration in a patient to a target location adjacent to, or in close proximity with, the carotid sheath. Once in position, one or more electrical impulses are applied through the electrode assembly to one or more selected nerves to stimulate, block or otherwise modulate the nerve(s) and acutely treat the patient'"'"'s condition.

16. A device for acutely treating a condition of a patient comprising:
-
a source of electrical energy; an introducer configured for creating percutaneous access to a target region adjacent to, or in close proximity with, a carotid sheath of a patient; and an electrode assembly coupled to the source of electrical energy and comprising at least one electrode sized for advancing to the target region, wherein the source of electrical energy is configured to apply an electrical impulse through the electrode to a selected nerve at the target region sufficient to modulate the nerve and treat the condition of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
