Nerve tissue/cells cannot regenerate itself like the other tissues and cells in our bodies. Nerve damage is always permanent unless it is just because of pressure from another source in the body that can be fixed. For example if you strain your back and the muscles swell causing pressure on the nerves then it should go away when the swelling does. The correct answer is actually, "Not yet." There are several methods being researched for nerve repair. All of them are still in the small animal testing phase, although one group is close to switching to large animals. Expect research to take another 3-5 years before it moves on to actual human case studies. If you care to follow up feel free to check into Fibrin, Fibronectin, and I cant remember right now, but I know there's a group out there experimenting with an electrically conductive polymer and sugar molecules.
