K-ClinicTrigeminal Neuralgia & Tinnitus Korea: Dr.Google Pain Clinic
Trigeminal neuralgia and tinnitus are both listed among the treatment areas of Dr.Google Pain Medicine Clinic in Anyang, Korea, and shingles is one of the clinic's main specialties, with referral to ophthalmology or ENT when needed. The clinic does not publish treatment methods or prices for the first two, so send your symptoms, duration and any previous test results through K-Clinic first and we will check with the clinic whether you can be seen and how many days to plan.
Do facial pain and tinnitus count as pain clinic problems?
When people think of a pain clinic, they usually think of the back, neck and knees. But the treatment areas at Dr.Google Pain Medicine Clinic also include trigeminal neuralgia and tinnitus, and shingles is one of the clinic's main specialties.
Pain in the face or head often leaves people unsure which department to see: dentistry, ENT or neurology? If that is your situation, this article sorts out what to ask first.
One important limit up front: for these items, the clinic does not publish detailed treatment methods or prices. K-Clinic only writes what the clinic has actually published, and everything else should be confirmed during your consultation.
What the clinic publishes, and what it does not
What it publishes:
- Trigeminal neuralgia and tinnitus are listed as treatment areas.
- Shingles is treated as nerve pain: the virus has damaged the nerve, and if the blisters heal but you still feel stabbing, burning, or pain when clothing touches the skin, it needs to be treated as nerve pain.
- Depending on where it occurs, the clinic links you to ophthalmology or ENT when needed.
What it does not publish: the treatment method, number of sessions and cost for trigeminal neuralgia and tinnitus. So we will not say on the clinic's behalf that it "can be cured" or "takes one session". Please discuss those after the doctor's examination.
Shingles on the face: ask earlier
For shingles on the face, the clinic states clearly that depending on the location, it links you to ophthalmology or ENT when needed. This means blisters on the face, around the eyes or near the ears are not just a skin problem.
Please write down the onset date and location clearly, and you can send photos of the blisters too. If the blisters have healed but it still hurts, the clinic explains this is mostly post-herpetic neuralgia, which needs to be treated as nerve pain, so we recommend being seen as early as possible.
What to include in your message
Less information is published for trigeminal neuralgia and tinnitus, so the more complete your information, the more useful the answers we can get for you:
- Pain location: which side of the face and which spot.
- How long: days, weeks or months.
- Type of pain: stabbing, burning or electric-shock-like.
- Tinnitus: which ear and when it is most noticeable.
- Shingles onset date: the date and location.
Also bring any tests or imaging already done in your home country, on disc or as files, and tell us about any medication you take, especially blood thinners and painkillers.
From inquiry to visit: how it works
- Send your symptoms through the Request booking button or live chat.
- We pass them to the clinic and confirm whether you can be seen.
- We schedule the visit date, avoiding Thursday and Sunday.
- You visit for the consultation and examination, and the doctor decides the next step.
The first visit includes a consultation, physical examination and imaging; if suitable, treatment can be done the same day. The attending doctor is Director Koo Jae-won (MD, PhD), a specialist in anesthesiology and pain medicine.
For injection treatment, the clinic confirms nerve position with C-arm imaging and uses very fine MTS microneedles; steroids are used only with careful judgment depending on the condition, and avoided as a rule. Whether similar methods are used for trigeminal neuralgia and tinnitus should be confirmed during your consultation.
