Anti-depressants may help stroke patients recover, according to research presented at the UK Stroke Forum.
An analysis of 52 studies, involving 4,000 people, showed the drugs could reduce disability as well as depression.
However, researchers said they did not understand exactly how the drugs helped the brain recover.
The Stroke Association said the results were very encouraging, but it was too soon to offer the drugs to patients.
