Neuroanatomical and Neurophysiological Basis of Motor Recovery Associated With Treatment of Recent Stroke Using Amphetamine and Physical Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating 0-15 Water for Cerebrovascular Accident and Paralysis. Completed, across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if giving amphetamines along with standard rehabilitation speeds motor recovery after a stroke. In addition, if motor recovery is improved, the study will also identify the areas of the brain involved with the recovery. Researchers will use motor function ratings, PET scans, functional MRI (fMRI), electroencephalographs, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to evaluate patients. Patients participating in the study will be placed in one of two groups; 1. Patients receiving dextroamphetamine and routine Rehabilitation Medicine 2. Patients receiving a placebo "sugar pill" and routine Rehabilitation Medicine Patients that have improved motor recovery will undergo neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies to identify areas of the brain involved.
