1. A method of promoting neuroregeneration of a damaged or injured nerve in a human'"'"'s body comprising:

  • placing an electrical lead in electrical communication with the nerve; and

    delivering an electrical signal to the nerve for a period of time between at least a portion of one day to six weeks to promote neuroregeneration of the nerve wherein delivering an electrical signal to the nerve comprises delivering a sub-threshold electrical signal to the nerve, wherein the sub-threshold electrical signal promotes neuroregeneration of the nerve but does not stimulate the nerve to a level that triggers the nerve'"'"'s physiological effect, wherein the electrical signal has an amplitude of between about 10 to 40 mA, a frequency between about 10-60 Hz, and a pulse width of between about 0.22-2.0 ms.
