Demyelination and Neuropathy

Published on: 06/03/2025

Demyelination is a serious neurological condition in which the myelin sheath—the protective covering around nerves—becomes damaged, leading to disrupted nerve signal transmission. This process plays a key role in many neuropathic conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Demyelination contributes to muscle weakness, loss of sensation, pain, and impaired coordination.
