Summary

This study tests whether ginkgo biloba tablets can help improve memory and thinking in people aged 55 and older who recently had a mild stroke. 400 participants will either take ginkgo biloba plus standard care or standard care alone for 12 months. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive tests and track any new strokes or side effects.
