Clinical Update
Clinical effects of Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® on neurosensory symptoms (tinnitus and dizziness) in patients with dementia
Tinnitus and dizziness are common neurosensory symptoms in the elderly population, and in patients with dementia. Epidemiological studies have found an increase in the prevalence of tinnitus as a function of age. In elderly people, tinnitus is likely to be caused by age-related hearing loss, which may also contribute to cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias.
