Thirty-six patients with arteritis were treated with Ginkgo biloba extract for sixty-five weeks. For the first six months of the treatment period, these patients participated in a double-blind randomised comparison with 35 well matched patients taking placebo. Subsequently, those patients taking Ginkgo biloba extract were given the option to continue treatment on an open basis with follow-up at regular three-monthly intervals. Ginkgo biloba extract therapy gave significantly greater pain relief and walking tolerance than the placebo after 6 months of treatment, and this improvement continued throughout the whole duration of the study. This symptomatic and measurable improvement was combined with excellent tolerance of the drug.
36例动脉炎患者接受银杏叶提取物治疗65周。在治疗期的前6个月，这些患者与35例匹配良好的服用安慰剂的患者进行了双盲随机对照试验。随后，那些服用银杏叶提取物的患者可以选择在开放的基础上继续治疗，并每三个月定期随访。治疗6个月后，银杏叶提取物治疗组的疼痛缓解和行走耐力明显优于安慰剂组，并且这种改善在整个研究期间持续存在。这种症状性和可测量的改善与药物的良好耐受性相结合。
