their is no such scale to measure the level of demyelination. these disorders progress very slowly and are difficult to completely cure them. Citicoline is a psychostimulant which increases the dopaminergic levels in the brain and improves cognitive and memory functions of brain. repeated scan yearly are the only way to look for any progress or improvement in the myelination of brain.
