Lymphatic surgery for Alzheimer's: A new treatment study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
