Massaging the neck and face may help flush waste out of the brain

Mechanical Massage Boosts Brain Health and Could Potentially Reduce Alzheimer’s Disease Severity

A recent study has revealed that a device capable of massaging the face and neck can enhance the brain’s waste disposal system, potentially leading to a reduction in the severity of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

Research has shown that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a crucial role in flushing out waste products, including beta-amyloid, a protein associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. This has sparked interest in exploring ways to improve CSF flow to promote brain health.

Previously, glymphatic vessels responsible for CSF drainage were only identified deep in the neck, posing challenges for manipulation. However, a team of researchers led by Gou Young Koh at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology discovered a network of glymphatic vessels closer to the skin on the face and neck of mice and monkeys.

By developing a specialized device for massaging these vessels, the researchers conducted experiments on older and younger mice, observing a significant increase in CSF flow through the brain following gentle massage along the face and upper neck. The procedure not only accelerated CSF flow but also appeared to reverse age-related declines in older mice.

Further studies conducted on monkeys and human cadavers have provided promising results, indicating that mechanical stimulation could enhance CSF flow in humans as well. However, more research is needed to validate these findings due to anatomical differences between species.

While the potential of boosting CSF flow to mitigate brain aging and protect against neurodegenerative diseases is intriguing, experts like Vesa Kiviniemi at the University of Oulu and Steven Proulx at the University of Bern emphasize the need for additional investigations. Koh and his team are planning to explore the effects of enhanced CSF flow on Alzheimer’s disease in genetically modified mice in future studies.
