摘要: 颈部淋巴外科作为一种新兴治疗策略,旨在通过改善脑淋巴引流功能缓解阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer's disease, AD)的病理进程。现有研究认为,颈部淋巴系统与脑内废物的清除密切相关,其功能障碍可能导致AD相关蛋白沉积及神经退行性病变。目前,淋巴管-静脉吻合术等外科技术被尝试用于恢复淋巴引流,但相关临床研究仍处于初步探索阶段,证据主要基于小规模病例报告和短期观察结果。尽管初步数据显示部分患者症状改善,但缺乏大样本随机对照试验及长期疗效验证,其机制亦未完全明确。现有证据不足以支持该疗法的广泛临床应用,需进一步开展高质量研究,以明确其安全性和有效性。

Abstract: Cervical lymphatic surgery, as an emerging therapeutic strategy, aims to alleviate the pathological progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by improving brain lymphatic drainage. Studies suggest that the cervical lymphatic system is closely associated with the clearance of brain waste products, and its dysfunction may lead to AD-related protein deposition and neurodegenerative pathologies. Currently, surgical techniques such as lymphovenous anastomosis have been attempted to restore lymphatic drainage. However, related clinical research remains in its preliminary investigation stages, with evidence primarily based on small-sample case reports and short-term observational outcomes. Although initial data indicate symptom improvement in some patients, there is a lack of large-scale randomized controlled trials and long-term efficacy validation, and the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely explained. Existing evidence is insufficient to support the widespread clinical application of this therapy, requiring further high-quality research to clarify its safety and efficacy.
