In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

To investigate the safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and cervical deep lymphoid-venous anastomosis (LVA) in the treatment of severe Alzheimer's disease (AD); to investigate the effectiveness of DBS and LVA in the treatment of severe AD, i.e., effects of deep brain stimulation on cognitive function, emotion and life quality in patients with severe AD.
