1. A method of inducing functional regeneration of nerve fibres at an injured site of the spinal cord, comprising exposing said injured site, grafting into said injured site graft selected from the group consisting of peripheral nerves and spinal cord segments, in such a way that the graft'"'"'s longitudinal axis is parallel to the spinal cord'"'"'s longitudinal axis and that said graft is in contact with both the proximal and distal uninjured spinal cord tissue, suturing the dura, muscle, fascia and skin, and post operatively irradiating the so grafter area of the spinal cord with a light source generating light at a wavelength being within the range of 380-1200 nm.
