Abstract

We carried out a double-blind and placebo-controlled study of the efficacy of bromocriptine in the treatment of nonfluent aphasia. Seven patients received bromocriptine (up to 60 mg/d) and an identical placebo in a randomized order. End points were the number of content words, content units, and pauses > 3 seconds during the description of a figure; verbal naming; and verbal fluency. There were no significant benefits of bromocriptine over placebo in any of the variables examined.
