Conclusion
"In the patient of this case report, treatment with oxandrolone added to exercise improves neuromuscular function, likely as a consequence of reinnervation of the muscle, as evidenced by type-grouping and recovery of motoneuron function", the researchers wrote.

"This observation suggests that treatment with oxandrolone may be useful to restore functional axon and motoneuron efficiency and could be considered within rehabilitation programs in patients with neuromuscular damages, such as demyelinating diseases, hereditary neuropathy, aging, and after peripheral injury."

The researchers' confidence in androgen therapy seems also to be confirmed by the experiences of other patients which they describe in the conclusion of their article. "We have treated other patients with similar diseases and paraplegic subjects after spinal cord injury and in our experience, all patients benefit from androgen therapy."

"The aim of this study is to increase the interest to other authors in further research because studies in this field are clearly warranted and useful for clinical practice", the researchers concluded.

Oxandrolone can reverse effects of muscle disease
