1. A method for evaluation and feedback of a neuromodulation treatment, the method comprising:

  • placing a first energy delivery element carried by an intravascular catheter at a treatment site within a renal blood vessel of a human patient;

    increasing energy delivery to the first energy delivery element, wherein energy delivery is increased to a pre-determined first power level over a first period of time, and wherein the first energy delivery element is positioned to deliver energy to target neural fibers proximate to a wall of the renal blood vessel;

    maintaining energy delivery at the first power level for a second period of time;

    increasing energy delivery to a second predetermined power level if the temperature value is less than a preset threshold temperature following the second period of time;

    obtaining a set of treatment data corresponding to a completed treatment performed using the first energy delivery element;

    evaluating the set of treatment data in view of one or more criteria to determine if a valuation of the completed treatment is within a pre-determined range; and

    providing an indication as to whether the valuation of the completed treatment is within the pre-determined range.
