Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to examine how stroke can alter arousal, alertness, neglect and dysphagia, and whether a medication, modafinil, can improve arousal.

Inclusion Criteria: - Signed informed consent - Willingness to complete study procedures - Ability to comprehend and sign informed consent - Evidence of unilateral, ischemic stroke based on: - Neuroimaging (clinically obtained imaging studies showing evidence of stroke) - Acceptable categories of stroke include: - Unilateral ischemic stroke - Atherothrombotic stroke - Cardioembolic stroke - Lacunar stroke >1.5 cm - Chronic stable, unilateral hemorrhagic stroke - Or Behavioral evidence of stroke including: - Hemiplegia - Unilateral sensory impairment - Localized higher cortical dysfunction (e.g. neglect,dysphagia, apraxia) Exclusion Criteria: - Cardiac valvular disease - Left heart hypertrophy - Poorly controlled hypertension - Active variant angina - Pre-menopausal women capable of having children, including those using active contraception (precaution for study medication and not applicable to normal subjects) - Severe renal or hepatic disease - History of psychosis or substance abuse - Patients on other Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulants, dopamine agonists or antagonists (antipsychotics) - Severe speech comprehension deficit and/or inability to communicate responses - Allergies that could put the research subject at risk during the course of the study - Cannot speak English - Active cerebral neurologic disease other than stroke such as multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's Disease - Active psychiatric illness except past history of treated depression or anxiety disorders - For persons needing an MRI - standard MRI exclusion criteria (cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator, artificial heart valves, metallic aneurysm clips eye or ear implants, implanted insulin or infusion pumps, battery activated stimulators, and history of claustrophobia) - Concomitant medications excluded: Based on recommendations of manufacturer, the following concomitant medications are excluded: Tricyclic antidepressants and Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. Any other CNS stimulation producing medications. Antifungal agents Itraconazole or Ketoconazole as plasma concentrations of modafinil may be increased. - Stroke patients will be excluded from the modafinil trial if they cannot swallow a capsule. - Stroke patients are excluded if they are able to become pregnant - Any other criteria that the PI or study physicians feel would put the volunteer's health at risk during the course of the study |

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | P50 Percent Habituation Score | This is an electrophysiological measure of arousal - a percent change in the P50 evoked response potential amplitudes with a 250 ms inter stimulus interval. The difference score is calculated as CPS - baseline and as modafinil - placebo (stroke subjects only). | baseline and after three days of intervention | No |
Secondary | PVT Fastest 10 Percent of Reaction Times | This is a behavioral measure of arousal - the fastest 10 percent of all cued reaction time trials. The difference score is calculated as CPS - baseline and as modafinil - placebo (stroke subjects only). | baseline and after three days of intervention | No |
Secondary | Power Function Exponent for Oral Bolus Estimation | This is a behavioral measure of sensation in the oral cavity. The power function exponent is equal to the slope of a regression equation relating bolus size to a person's estimate of that size. An exponent below one implies an underestimate of bolus size. The difference score is calculated as CPS - baseline and as modafinil - placebo (stroke subjects only). | baseline and after three days of intervention | No |
Secondary | Time to Swallow Puree Food | This is a behavioral measure of swallowing - the time it takes for pureed food to transition across a part of the throat. The difference score is calculated as CPS - placebo and as modafinil - placebo (for stroke subjects only). | baseline and after three days of intervention | No |
