You can be one of those patients doctors hate by bringing your ideas for recovery to them.

Acorda said patients who took Ampyra recovered were able to walk faster
and had an easier time performing daily tasks. The trial involved 83
patients who had an ischemic stroke at least six months earlier, and who
still had walking problems. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood vessel
that supplies blood to the brain is blocked.
The company said it is still evaluating results from the study. The
main goal of the trial was to measure Ampyra's safety and side effects
in stroke patients, and the most common side effects included dizziness,
nausea, fatigue, insomnia, and joint pain.
Ampyra is used to improve walking in patients with
multiple sclerosis. Acorda markets the drug in the U.S., and Biogen Idec
Inc. sells it as Fampyra in other countries. Biogen makes royalty
payments to Acorda on those sales. Acorda is also studying Ampyra as a
treatment for cerebral palsy.
