Objective:
To evaluate the effect and safety of Ginkgo Biloba extract on the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.

Meta-analysis based on the Revman 4.2 system was performed.
Results:
Compared with the control group, treatment with Ginkgo Biloba extract enhanced efficacy in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (OR: 1.60-5.53), which displayed an improved neural function defect score [WMD -3.12 (95%CI: -3.96- -2.28)].
Conclusion:
Ginkgo Biloba extract is beneficial to the improvement of neurological function in patients with acute cerebral infarction and it is safe for patients.
