1. A method for thermally-induced renal neuromodulation of a human patient, the method comprising:

  • intravascularly positioning a thermal apparatus at least proximate to a neural fiber that contributes to renal function;

    delivering pulsed energy via the thermal apparatus to modulate a function of the neural fiber via thermal effects; and

    intravascularly removing the thermal apparatus from the patient after renal neuromodulation.
