Implantable Vagus Nerve Stimulation Modulation of Coeruleus-Norepinephrine Network for Mild-Moderate AD Patients
Sponsor: Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing
Summary
A randomized controlled clinical study will be conducted in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University. This study initially explore the effect of selective vagus nerve(C fiber) stimulation on mild-to-moderate AD patients, in order to regulate the activity of the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine network, and to observe the improvement of cognitive function and memory function. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive selective vagus nerve stimulation in the treatment of mild-to-moderate AD patients, to clarify the effective mechanism, and to provide an effective clinical treatment strategy.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Modulation of the Coeruleus-Norepinephrine Network
The implant surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The generator is implanted subcutaneously in the left upper chest or left axillary border. The electrode lead wire is attached to the left mid-cervical vagus nerve through a second incision in the left neck area. The lead wire is passed through a subcutaneous tunnel and attached to the pulse generator.
