Could a neck surgery slow Alzheimer's? new trial launches

This study tests a surgical procedure that aims to improve the brain's waste-clearing system in people with Alzheimer's disease. The surgery involves relieving pressure on lymphatic vessels in the neck and connecting a lymph node to a vein to help drain harmful proteins. Researchers will measure changes in memory, thinking, and brain scans over time in 45 participants aged 50-80 with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's.
