Apparatus is provided for applying current to a nerve. A cathode is adapted
to be placed in a vicinity of a cathodic longitudinal site of the nerve and to
apply, a cathodic current to the nerve. A primary inhibiting anode is adapted to
be placed in a vicinity of a primary anodal longitudinal site of the nerve and
to apply a primary anodal current to the nerve. A secondary inhibiting anode is
adapted to be placed in a vicinity of a secondary anodal longitudinal site of the
nerve and to apply a secondary anodal current to the nerve, the secondary anodal
longitudinal site being closer to the primary anodal longitudinal site than to
the cathodic longitudinal site.
