- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To assess the safety, feasibility, and tolerability of delivering the drug G-CSF and or rehabilitation therapy in chronic stroke patients.;Secondary Objective: 1) To study potential interaction between the drug G-CSF and rehabilitation therapy in chronic stroke patients. 2) Finalise the design including the sample size calculations and outcome measures for the definitive trial, by obtaining information on functional measures, the spectrum of disability among trial recruits and the completeness of outcome data.;Primary end point(s): Feasibility: proportion of participants receiving all 5 G-CSF/placebo injections; proportion of participants receiving all therapy sessions. Acceptability- proportion of participants screened who are eligible for enrollment who give consent; Tolerability- Adverse events (headache, backache) reported after G-CSF adminisitration; proportion of participants who withdraw or decline rehabiliation therapy sessions.
