Figure 1 Severity of acute mountain sickness (AMS) symptoms 24hours after rapid ascent to 4300m in participants treated with placebo vs Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE). Mean acute mountain sickness–cerebral questionnaire (AMS-C, top) and Lake Louise Symptom questionnaire (LLS, bottom) scores were compared between treatment groups within each study. * indicates significantly different from placebo (P<.05). The dashed lines represent the threshold values for diagnosis of AMS.
