Lymphatic surgery study for Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgery to improve drainage in the neck that might help clear waste from the brain in people with Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can slow down memory and thinking problems.

This trial tests a surgery called lymphaticovenous anastomosis to see if it can help treat Alzheimer's disease. It is for people who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia and may offer a new way to improve brain function.
This study tests a surgery that connects tiny lymph vessels in the neck to improve brain drainage in people with moderate Alzheimer's. It aims to see if this can slow down memory loss.
This trial tests a surgical procedure that connects lymphatic vessels in the neck to help clear waste from the brain in people with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if this can improve thinking and memory.
This trial tests a neck surgery (cervical LVA) to see if it is safe and might help Alzheimer's patients by improving brain waste drainage. You may be eligible if you have a confirmed Alzheimer's diagnosis and a positive amyloid PET scan.
