Lymphatic surgery for multiple system atrophy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery that connects lymph vessels to veins in the neck to see if it can help people with multiple system atrophy (MSA). It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (anesthesia risk is low to moderate).
- You can complete thinking tests, physical exams, brain MRI, and blood draws.

This study tests a new, less invasive surgery to improve lymph drainage from the brain. It may help clear harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
This study tests a new surgical treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The surgery aims to improve drainage in the neck to help clear waste from the brain. This is a first-of-its-kind pilot study to see if it is safe and might help thinking and memory.
This trial tests a new surgery that connects deep lymph nodes in the neck to veins, which may help drain waste from the brain in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It aims to see if the surgery is safe and can slow the disease.
