银杏
在治疗痴呆方面,银杏似乎比安慰剂治疗老年痴呆症更有效,然而,其临床相关性难以确定。[48]Kasper S, Schubert H. Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761 in the treatment of dementia: evidence of efficacy and tolerability [in German].

脑蛋白水解物
脑活素作为血管性痴呆的一种潜在治疗似乎具有前景,[50]Guekht AB, Moessler H, Novak PH, et al. Cerebrolysin in vascular dementia: improvement of clinical outcome in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis. 2011;20:310-318.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20656516?tool=bestpractice.com 但还需进一步的试验来证实其益处。 [
