Lymphatic drainage treatment for Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure to improve the brain's waste-clearing system, which may slow the effects of Alzheimer's disease. It's a new approach that aims to help the brain work better.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgery called lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) that aims to improve brain drainage in people with Alzheimer's disease. It may help by clearing waste proteins from the brain, potentially slowing the disease.
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 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 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 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.
