First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tests whether a sleep-deepening drug (lower-sodium oxybate) or a nerve stimulation device (non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation), or both, can help the brain clear harmful proteins in people with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Sixty adults with CAA will receive one or both treatments for a period. The main goal is to measure changes in protein levels in spinal fluid, and MRI scans will track brain health. The study aims to find new ways to slow the disease.
