I suppose it is possible, but I thought the SCS was predominately blocking the damaged signals from the periphery.

Another example is the use of menthol on the skin for those with burning pain. Menthol stimulates cold receptors, which have priority in traveling to the spine. Hence the burning pain from the heat sensors which are misfiring is not felt.
I think the SCS are more like this, than actual stimulants of peripheral regeneration.

Regeneration needs nutrient support to be optimally effective.
