Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of ginkgolide injection combined with conventional therapy in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods: A total of 133 patients with cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from November 2023 to October 2025 were selected and divided according to clinical treatment modality into a conventional group (n=68) and a combination group (n=65). The conventional group received conventional treatment, whereas the combination group received ginkgolide injection in addition to conventional treatment. Neurological function [assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)], clinical efficacy, quality of life [assessed using the Barthel Index (BI)], and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 was used to analyze important indicators affecting clinical efficacy. Results: After 7 and 14 days of treatment, NIHSS scores decreased in both groups and were lower in the combination group than in the conventional group (P<0.05). After 14 days of treatment, the overall clinical response rate was higher in the combination group (92.31%) than in the conventional group (75.00%, P<0.05). At 30 and 90 days after treatment, BI scores increased in both groups and were higher in the combination group than in the conventional group (P<0.05). The overall incidence of adverse reactions did not differ significantly between the two groups (P>0.05). Feature selection based on IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 showed that treatment modality (group), BI at 90 days after treatment, BI at 30 days after treatment, and age were key factors affecting clinical efficacy. Conclusion: Ginkgolide injection combined with conventional therapy has good clinical efficacy in patients with cerebral infarction, significantly improves neurological impairment, enhances activities of daily living, and has positive clinical value. Treatment modality (group), BI at 90 days after treatment, BI at 30 days after treatment, and age are key factors affecting clinical efficacy.
