Nerves can regrow dendrites, or extensions of the nerves, but not regenerate the nerve itself. humans do not have this capability. It is more common in non-mammals, usually the ones that can regenerate whole body parts.
Nerves can make new extensions to compensate for damage, but not if theres too much loss of myelin or damage, then its less likely recover from any amount.
