Can Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation Repair Damaged Nerves? All experimental results indicated that electrical stimulation facilitates regeneration of injured nerve; direct stimulation caused better recovery than TENS with respect to functional and morphological parameters during the six weeks of the experiment. Can electrotherapy help nerve damage? Electrical nerve stimulation can reverse spinal cord injury nerve damage
