Methods for effective remyelination in patients are disclosed comprising treating the patient with an androgen receptor ligand which exerts binding to androgen receptors and elicits androgen-receptor-induced biological responses at a dosage sufficient to induce remyelination. The androgen compound preferably comprises MENT in an androgen targeting both androgen and estrogen receptors, and the methods include combining the androgen compound with a progestin compound in order to provide both contraception in men and treatment for neurodegeneration.
