摘要：
Agents, methods, and devices for affecting nerve function are described. One embodiment of an agent includes a cardiac glycoside, an ACE inhibitor, and an NSAID. The agent may be delivered locally in a site-specific manner to a targeted nerve or portion of a nerve. For example, the agent may be delivered locally to the renal nerves to impair their function and treat hypertension. One embodiment of a delivery device includes one or more needle housings supported by a balloon. A delivery needle is slidably disposed within a needle lumen of each needle housing.
