1. An apparatus for stimulating regeneration and repair of damaged spinal nervous tissue, comprising a plurality of electrodes configured to be placed intravertebrally proximal to a site of spinal neurite injury and deliver direct current from a DC source thereto, each of said plurality of electrodes including an aggregate conductive electrode surface through which said direct current is delivered, said aggregate conductive electrode surface being sufficiently large so that a current density from said electrode surface will induce neurite regeneration and repair while minimizing damage to tissue surrounding the site of spinal neurite injury.
