Dopamine Agonist for Hemispatial Neglect and Motor Deficit Post Stroke

Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed clinical diagnosis of right-hemisphere stroke. * Able to give informed consent. * Presence of left hemispatial neglect defined by a deficit in finding leftward targets on standard cancellation or visual search tests68-70. (A deficit on the line bisection test alone will not be sufficient for inclusion, as a previous study shows that there is no significant relationship between performance on this test and spatial working memory capacity37). * Presence of motor deficits: all patients will have suffered from first-ever clinically defined stroke resulting in weakness of at least wrist and finger extensors, and hand interossei (to \</= 4+ on the Medical Research Council scale), at the time of recruitment. * Age over 18 years. * More than 9 days since stroke-onset (Note that on our protocol patches do not commence until a minimum of 6 days after the study begins. Thus patients will not receive drug / placebo until a minimum of 15 days post-stroke). * Able and willing to use patches of drug/placebo and assessments at regular intervals as defined by the protocol. * Able to comply with study requirements. * If female and of child-bearing potential, subject has a negative serum pregnancy test within two days of enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: * Pre-existing neurological conditions that would confound cognitive and motor assessments, e.g. dementia, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis. * Presence of acute concomitant illness, e.g. infection, unstab…
