Recovery has been shown in animal models to be dependent upon adequate levels of acetylcholine within the brain - which in stroke is likely to be deficient. This is because acetylcholine-producing nerve cells in the brain are often damaged by strokes.\n\nConsequently, the investigators hypothesise that recovery may be improved by boosting acetylcholine levels in the brain - that can be readily achieved by treating with donepezil.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Patients able and willing to partake in motor tests, and to return for follow-up visit at 12 weeks.\n4. Able to understand English.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. Contraindications for donepezil: pregnancy (\\* Female patients \\<50 years old will be asked if there is any possibility that they might be pregnant. If there is any uncertainty, or a likelihood that they are pregnant, this will qualify as an exclusion criterion)\\*; moderate - severe asthma (i.e. regular treatment prescribed for this); bradycardia, syncope, 2nd or 3rd degree heart block, acute or decompensated heart failure; peptic ulcer diagnosed endoscopically and on treatment for this; epilepsy; Parkinson's disease; end-stage renal failure or creatinine \\> 300 micromol/l; genitourinary tract or gastrointestinal tract obstruction; gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage; myasthenia gravis\n2. Other: functionally-significant cognitive impairment (i.e. dementia); significant receptive aphasia (i.e. such that cannot understand purpose or details of trial, and will be unable to cooperate with task instructions); significant physical infirmity as judged by treating physician (e.g. severe organ failure; terminal cancer).\n3.
