Spinal cord direct current stimulation: finite element analysis of the electric field and current density.

Applied low-intensity direct current (DC) stimulates and directs axonal growth in models of spinal cord injury (SCI) and may have therapeutic value in humans. Using higher electric strengths will probably increase the beneficial effects, but this faces the risk of tissue damage by electricity or tox...
