Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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