PRESTA- Promoting Recovery after Stroke with Amantadine

PRESTA- Promoting Recovery after Stroke with Amantadine

Brief description of study

The research team aims to examine whether amantadine can help patients recover from stroke. This will be a blinded randomized clinical trial. We will randomize patients post-ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke either to the placebo arm or amantadine. Patients will be on study drug or placebo for 1 month but will be enrolled for 3 months total. At various time points they will be examined and fill out questionnaires to determine their level of stroke recovery.

Adult subjects within 24 hours to 3 weeks after an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, will be recruited from Penn Medicine's Emergency Department, inpatient and outpatient practices by the Stroke team.
