A method and system provide an automated protocol for assessing and treating a neurostimulation treatment area. The assessment involves identifying a number of relative low impedance points among an array of points of a treatment area array associated with a physiological region. A certain number of the identified points are treated. The array area is reassessed. Then, a certain number of the previously treated points are treated again. These steps are repeated a predetermined number of times and/or until a predetermined number of treatment points remains.
