Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Devices, systems, and methods for reducing stress on a blood vessel are disclosed herein. For example, a method of treating effects of dementia comprises positioning a damping device along an artery that provides blood to a brain of a person so that an inner surface of the damping device contacts an outer surface of the artery. Wherein an inner diameter of the inner surface changes in response to a wavefront of blood passing through the artery and thereby attenuates energy of the wavefront.
