Moderate Evidence

Evidence Summary

Standardized Ginkgo extract (EGb 761 at 240 mg/day) showed statistically significant and clinically relevant benefits in cognition, activities of daily living, and global assessment in patients with mild-to-moderate dementia following cerebral infarction (PMID: 41908799). Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole (GLED) combined with edaravone demonstrated significantly better outcomes than edaravone alone in acute cerebral infarction, including improved stroke scale scores and reduced adverse events (PMID: 39496028). Ginkgo Leaf Tablets combined with Liuwei Dihuang Pills reduced oxidative stress markers (CML and 8-isoprostane) in type 2 diabetes patients over 36 months and lowered diabetic retinopathy incidence (PMID: 30219436, 27491224).
