A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial of Ginkgo Biloba for the Prevention of Cognitive Decline
Neurol 70:1807-1817,1730, Dodge,H.H.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In unadjusted analyses, Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) neither altered the risk of progression from normal to Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR)=0.5, nor protected against a decline in memory function. Secondary analysis taking into account medication adherence shoed a protective effect of GBE on the progression to CDR = 0.5 and memory decline. Results of larger prevention trials taking into account medication adherence may clarify the effectiveness of GBE. More stroke and TIA cases observed among the GBE group requires further study to confirm.
