Neck surgery for brain lymphatic disorder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a brain lymphatic circulation disorder by a neurologist.
- Your Alzheimer's disease is at a moderate stage (GDS score 3-5).
- You have had an amyloid PET-CT or spinal fluid test confirming amyloid buildup linked to the disorder.
- You are willing to have surgery and be followed for at least 12 months after.

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 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 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 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 surgery to reconnect tiny lymph vessels in the neck to help drain waste from the brain, which may slow or improve severe Alzheimer's symptoms. It is for people with advanced Alzheimer's who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
