Prozac may aid stroke recovery

By admin | Published: January 10, 2011

Conclusion This study used a robust design for assessing whether fluoxetine could improve movement in people who have suffered a stroke. Its use of randomisation means that the comparison groups were likely to have been well balanced, and blinding reduced the chance that preconceptions about the effects of treatment could have affected how patientsâ€™ or doctorsâ€™ rated movement. There are a few points to note: Although larger than previous studies, this study was still relatively small at 118 patients.
