Lymphatic surgery for moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had radiation or surgery on your head or neck before.
- You are able to undergo surgery and do not have other conditions that affect thinking or memory.
- You can tolerate the medication donepezil, which is used for Alzheimer's disease.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
