Robotic surgery for lymphatic drainage in Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new robotic-assisted surgery to improve drainage of lymph fluid in the neck, which may help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It is for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who have specific biomarkers.

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 study tests whether a microsurgery on lymph nodes in the neck can help clear waste from the brain in people with early Alzheimer's. It might slow down memory loss.
This study tests a new surgery called cervical lymphatic bypass to see if it can help people with Alzheimer's disease. The surgery creates a new connection in the neck to improve drainage of waste from the brain, which may slow memory loss.
This trial tests whether a robotic surgical procedure on the neck's lymphatic vessels can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. If it works, it might slow down memory decline.
This trial tests a surgery that connects tiny lymph vessels to veins in the neck area to help drain waste from the brain. It aims to see if this surgery can improve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and understand how it works.
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.
