Besides Needles, Two Unfamiliar Terms on the Price List
Besides pharmacopuncture, thread therapy and herbal medicine, the price list of Barrrjung Korean Medicine Hospital (바를정한방병원) has two items that may be unfamiliar to many readers: extracorporeal shockwave and Pain Scrambler.
The hospital's information lists only their specifications and prices, without explaining the principle or indicated symptoms in detail. This article sets out what is written; for what is not, please ask the doctor at your consultation.
What Are the Listed Prices?
- Extracorporeal shockwave C: 2,000 shots, ₩100,000.
- Extracorporeal shockwave D: 4,000 shots, ₩150,000.
- Pain Scrambler course A: 25 minutes per session, ₩100,000.
- Pain Scrambler course B: 55 minutes per session, ₩200,000.
These are the hospital's listed self-pay (non-reimbursed) prices, and the list shows no tax (VAT) or validity period.
How Does This Relate to Trigeminal Neuralgia?
On the hospital's menu, the treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is "acupuncture, pharmacopuncture and shockwave". The hospital explains that trigeminal neuralgia is usually an electric-shock-like stabbing pain on one side of the face lasting seconds to minutes, which can be triggered by washing the face, brushing teeth or speaking, with pain-free periods in between.
Telling it apart from a toothache, and whether it is trigeminal neuralgia at all, must be judged by a doctor after examination.
Which symptoms Pain Scrambler is used for is not explained in the hospital's information. Please confirm at your consultation; we will not guess for you.
What Is the Difference Between the Types: Shots and Time
The price list shows only two differences: the number of shockwave shots (2,000 versus 4,000) and the Pain Scrambler time (25 minutes versus 55 minutes).
Which one, how long per session and how many sessions are decided by the doctor according to your condition. If you simply add prices for reference: shockwave C plus Pain Scrambler A is ₩200,000, and shockwave D plus B is ₩350,000. But this is only arithmetic and does not mean the doctor will combine them this way.
What Should You Ask Before Treatment?
- Is it suitable for my symptoms? (The trigeminal neuralgia treatment includes acupuncture, pharmacopuncture and shockwave.)
- Which type should I choose? (C or D, A or B is the doctor's judgment.)
- How many sessions? (Sessions and intervals depend on the examination.)
- How is it scheduled with the needle treatments? (Combined according to your condition.)
The hospital uses joint Korean and Western medicine consultation: 7 Korean medicine and Western medicine doctors confirm the cause through pulse diagnosis, palpation, imaging and ultrasound before deciding the treatment combination. The representative director, Jeong In-ho (정인호), is president of the Korean Society of Facial Medicine and president of the Bell's Palsy Research Society.
