1. A method of neuromodulation, comprising:
applying one or more energy pulses to a neuron of a subject to deliver sufficient energy to the neuron to neurally modulate a lymphatic tissue in response to applying the one or more energy pulses;
acquiring image data of the lymphatic tissue using an ultrasound imaging probe; and
changing modulation parameters of the one or more energy pulses based on the image data.

12. A system for neuromodulation of lymphatic tissue, comprising:
an energy application device configured to apply one or more energy pulses to a neuron of a subject to deliver sufficient energy to the neuron to neurally modulate a lymphatic tissue in response to applying the one or more energy pulses;
a noninvasive ultrasound imaging probe configured to acquire image data of the lymphatic tissue before and after neurally modulating the lymphatic tissue; and
a controller configured to:
cause the energy application device to generate the one or more energy pulses according to modulation parameters;
identify a change in size of the lymphatic tissue caused by applying the one or more energy pulses based on the image data; and
change the modulation parameters based on the identified change in size of the lymphatic tissue.
