Fluoxetine Maintains a State of Heightened Responsiveness to Motor Training Early After Stroke in a Mouse Model Basic Sciences
Conclusions— There is a gradient of diminishing responsiveness to motor training over the first week after stroke. Fluoxetine can overcome this gradient and maintain maximal levels of responsiveness to training even 7 days after stroke.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to improve outcome in acute ischemic stroke: possible mechanisms and clinical evidence
ConclusionIn addition to the need of comprehensive‐clinical evidence, further elucidation of the beneficial mechanisms whereby SSRIs may improve structural and functional recovery from ischemic‐brain damage is needed to form a basis for translation into clinical practice. Several clinical studies have indicated that selective serotonin reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) administered after acute ischemic stroke can improve clinical recovery independently of depression. However, data from confirmatory trials in large study populations are lacking and the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. This review summarizes...

Fluoxetine or Venlafaxine for Early Post Stroke Depression
Conclusions: PSD in the early phase affects a substantial number of the stroke patients. Venlafaxine has got a better outcome and adverse event profile compared to fluoxetine in this group of patients. However, larger multicenter studies will provide more helpful data in this area.

Neuroplasticity and behavioral effects of  fluoxetine after experimental stroke.
Neuroplasticity and behavioral effects of fluoxetine after experimental stroke. Restor Neurol Neurosci. 2017 Aug 24;: Authors: Sun Y, Sun X, Qu H, Zhao S, Xiao T, Zhao C Abstract The brain can undergo self-repair and has the ability to compensate for functions lost after a stroke. The plasticity of the ischemic brain is influenced by several factors including aging and pharmacotherapy. Fluoxetine is an antidepressant which enhances serotonergic neurotransmission through selective inhibition of neuronal reuptake of serotonin. In clinical practice, fluoxetine alleviates the symptoms of post-stroke depre...

Fluoxetine for stroke recovery improvement - the doubleblind, randomised placebo-controlled FOCUS-Poland trial.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Consistent with other trials based on the FOCUS protocol, fluoxetine did not improve motor recovery or general stroke outcome at six and 12 months in the Polish cohort studied. However, patients receiving fluoxetine required therapy with additional antidepressant medication less frequently. PMID: 33373036 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Is Fluoxetine Good for Subacute Stroke? A Meta-Analysis Evidenced From Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusion: In post-stroke treatment, fluoxetine did not improve participants' mRS and NIHSS but improved FMMS and BI. This difference could result from heterogeneities between the trials: different treatment duration, clinical scales sensitivity, patient age, delay of inclusion, and severity of the deficit.

Does the Initiation of Fluoxetine Postacute Stroke Result in Improved Functional Recovery?: A Critically Appraised Topic
Conclusion: Among patients with stroke, early initiation of fluoxetine did not result in improved functional recovery. Lower rates of depression were observed in the fluoxetine-treated group; however these patients experienced higher rates of bone fracture.

Antidepressant-like effects of paeoniflorin on post-stroke depression in a rat model.
CONCLUSIONS: Observed results suggested that paeoniflorin could ameliorate the symptoms and improve the functional capability of PSD rats, similar to the effect of fluoxetine.

MAMBO: Measuring ambulation, motor, and behavioral outcomes with post-stroke fluoxetine in Tanzania: Protocol of a phase II clinical trial
Sub-Saharan Africa has a high stroke incidence and post-stroke morbidity. An inexpensive pharmacological treatment for stroke recovery would be beneficial to patients in the region. Fluoxetine, currently on the World Health Organization Essential Medicines List, holds promise as a treatment for motor recovery after ischemic stroke, but its effectiveness is controversial and untested in this context in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Update on pharmacotherapy for stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery during rehabilitation
This article evaluates whether specific drugs are able to facilitate motor recovery after stroke or improve the level of consciousness, cognitive, or behavioral symptoms after traumatic brain injury. Recent findings: After stroke, serotonin reuptake inhibitors can enhance restitution of motor functions in depressed as well as in nondepressed patients. Erythropoietin and progesterone administered within hours after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury failed to improve the outcome. A single dose of zolpidem can transiently improve the level of consciousness in patients with vegetative state or minimally conscious stat...

Effect of Electroacupuncture on Relieving Central Post-Stroke Pain by Inhibiting Autophagy in the Hippocampus.
CONCLUSION: EA may inhibit autophagy in the hippocampus by reducing β-catenin/COX-2 protein expression and effectively alleviating CPSP. SIGNIFICANCE: Statement Previous studies have found that EA can reduce the expression of NK-1R in damaged rats by inhibition of COX-2 and β-catenin loops, which controls the activation of glial cells in the damaged area and the apoptosis of neuronal cells, and alleviated pain. In the male SD rat model, we evaluated this effect that EA inhibits autophagy in the hippocampus by reducing β-catenin/COX-2 protein expression in the brain tissue. In addition, we assessed expression levels...
