The Pain Clinic is a hospital department which mainly provides diagnosis and treatment of pain. While the acute pain of a trauma disappears when the cause heals, it may turn into chronic pain if neuropathy or some psychosocial element is added. The presence of pain can impair the quality of life, and cause sleep disorders or decrease in social activities. It is therefore important to mitigate the pain as soon as possible. The Pain Clinic uses various methods including nerve block therapy and drug therapy and provides treatments to remove or mitigate harmful pain. We diagnose the cause and select the appropriate treatment method based on our specialized knowledge and techniques. We also treat some diseases that do not involve pain, such as facial paralysis, sudden deafness, peripheral vascular disorder, hyperhidrosis, and facial spasms.
