Ginkgo leaf capsule combined with comprehensive rehabilitation training was applied for 12 weeks and the therapeutic effects were evaluated. The positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) and treatment emergent symptom scale(TESS) for the side effects that needed to be treated during treating were used to evaluate the therapeutic effects and side effects.
