Patients with mild to moderate multi-infarct or primary degenerative Alzehimer-type dementia received 240mg ginko extract of placebo for 24 weeks. Psychopathological, attention, memory, and assessment of daily life activity significantly improved, demonstrating the clinical efficacy of ginkgo extract in the treatment of Alzheimer-type and multi-infarct dementia.
