Objective To evaluate the effects and safety of ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole combined with betahistine injection for the treatment of vertebrobasilar ischemia with vertigo. Methods The Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP Database, Wanfang Database and China Biology Medicine Databases were searched from their establishment to September 2015. We used the method recommended by the Cochrane collaboration to perform a meta-analysis on randomized controlled trails. Results Six studies were included. The results of meta-analysis demonstrated that ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole combined with betahistine injection for the treatment of vertebrobasilar ischemia with vertigo was superior to either ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole or betahistine injection in total effective rate[RR=1.21, 95%CI (1.08, 1.35), P=0.000 7; RR=1.17, 95%CI (1.05, 1.31), P=0.006]. Conclusion Ginkgo leaf extract and dipyridamole combined with betahistine injection is effective for the treatment of vertebrobasilar ischemia with vertigo. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the results need to be further confirmed.
