Abstract
Accelerated recovery from direct current (DC) nerve block can be achieved using repolarization. A direct current (DC) waveform can be applied to a nerve for a time sufficient to achieve nerve block. The DC waveform can be switched to another DC waveform of reversed polarity, which can be applied for a second time, causing the nerve to enter a repolarization cycle to accelerate recovery time for the nerve. Moreover, simply applying a subthreshold DC waveform to the nerve for a time by itself can enhance a response of the nerve without blocking conduction in the nerve.
