Abstract: The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of supplemental Ginkgo biloba extracts when administered in conjunction with vestibular rehabilitation training (VRT) to enhance patient outcomes in patients with vestibular neuritis (VN). A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 80 participants divided into two groups: Group A (Ginkgo biloba extracts+ VRT) and Group B (VRT only). It was established in the study that the integration of Ginkgo biloba extracts with VRT gave improved results, shorter treatment period, higher postural stability, and better quality of life than the group that received only VRT. Neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects of Ginkgo biloba extracts were instrumental in helping compensate for the vestibular damage and therefore aid in recovery. This study has indicated that supplementing with Ginkgo biloba extracts alongside VRT is a better treatment approach when treating patients with ‘persistent’ VN.
