Effect of a combination of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract and triangle health management in patients with ischemic vertigo- An exploratory investigation

Background: Ischemic vertigo (IV) is the main clinical manifestation of posterior circulation ischemia. Extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves injection (EGBLI) is rich in flavonoids and terpene lactones, which have antioxidant, vasodilator and neuroprotective effects. Triangle Health Management optimizes resource allocation through hierarchical intervention. Objectives: This prospective study analyzed the effect of EGBLI combined with triangle health management on IV. Methods: First, n=177 patients with IV were included who received conventional treatment as a control group and another n=144 patients who received EGBLI as an observation group. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared and hemodynamics before and after treatment were examined. In addition, nutritional proteins and symptom improvement were compared between the two groups. Results: Comparison showed that the clinical efficacy of the observation group was better (p<0.05). Meanwhile, hemodynamics and symptom improvement after treatment in the observation group were better than those in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: EGBLI combined with triangle health management is an excellent therapeutic regimen for IV.
