LVA surgery for Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a surgery called lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The surgery connects tiny lymph vessels to veins to help clear waste from the brain.

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 trial is studying a surgery called deep cervical lymphatic venous anastomosis (DC-LVA) for people with Alzheimer's disease. The surgery aims to improve lymphatic drainage in the neck, which may help clear harmful proteins from the brain. Researchers want to see if this surgery can slow memory loss or improve brain function.
This trial tests a surgery that targets the lymphatic system in the neck to help people with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can improve cognitive 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 study tests a surgical procedure to connect lymph vessels in the neck to veins, which may help clear waste from the brain in people with mild cognitive impairment or mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is for patients who have not improved after at least 3 months of standard care.
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.
