Neck lymph node surgery for early Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have a diagnosis of mild Alzheimer's disease

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 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 a surgery that connects tiny lymph vessels in the neck to improve drainage in the brain, which may help people with moderate-to-severe dementia. It aims to see if this surgery can slow down memory loss and improve daily function.
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 new, less invasive surgery to improve lymph drainage from the brain. It may help clear harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
This study is testing a new surgery that connects lymphatic vessels in the neck to help clear waste from the brain, which may slow or improve Alzheimer's symptoms. It is a small pilot study to see if the procedure is safe and helpful for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
