With such a wide array of causes and unclear understanding for the pathophysiology, there is no known cure or treatment for the disease. In some cases of leukoencephalopathy induced by medications, such as methotrexate and metronidazole, the disease will reduce gradually once medication is no longer distributed to the patient.[6][8][15] Depending on the source of toxicity or pharmacological substance and severity of the white matter damage, many patients can have complete clinical recovery.Coenzyme Q and vitamin supplements, typically vitamin C and vitamin E, and other antioxidant therapies have been suggested to treat heroin-induced leukoencephalopathy patients. However, such treatments have rarely been trialed.[1]
