Neck lymphatic surgery for Alzheimer's disease – follow-up study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is for people with Alzheimer's disease who have already had a neck surgery to improve fluid drainage (called DC-LVA). Researchers want to see how this surgery affects thinking and memory over time, and they will follow participants to learn more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease by a doctor.
- You have already received a surgery called deep cervical lymphatic venous anastomosis (DC-LVA), which connects lymph vessels in the neck to veins to help drain fluid.
- You or your family and caregiver agree to participate by signing a consent form.
- You do not have severe problems with moving, speaking, seeing, hearing, or staying alert that would make it hard to complete thinking tests.
- You have a stable caregiver who can come with you to all study visits.

This trial tests a surgery that connects lymph vessels in the neck to help clear waste from the brain, which may slow down memory loss in people with moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is for patients who have not improved with standard medications.
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 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 study tests a surgical treatment for Alzheimer's disease that aims to improve drainage of fluid from the brain. It is for people aged 30 to 80 with moderate to severe symptoms and who can tolerate surgery.
This trial tests a neck surgery (lymphaticovenous and lymph node-to-vein anastomosis) to see if it improves symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease linked to a brain lymphatic circulation disorder. It focuses on those with moderate-stage Alzheimer's and confirmed amyloid buildup.
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.
