Methods of treatment of a neurological disorder using electrical nerve conduction block

A method for reducing muscle spasticity in a subject, the method comprising:

• placing an electrode contact in electrical communication with a nerve that transmits a signal related to the muscle spasticity;
• applying an electrical nerve conduction block (ENCB) to the nerve through the electrode contact, wherein the electrode contact comprises a high charge capacity material that prevents formation of damaging electrochemical reaction products at a charge delivered by the ENCB;
• and
• blocking transmission of the signal through the nerve with the ENCB to stop the muscle spasticity.
