Anesthesia

Our department provides anesthesia and analgesia for patients who need to have invasive procedures.
Surgery/biopsy
Interventional Radiology
Endoscopic examination for infants

Pain Clinic

We provide medical care for pain patients by combination of internal drugs, ultrasound/CT guided nerve block, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
We also take care of patients whom our techniques can help.

Pain patients (Cancer pain, low back pain, post herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal nerve pain, headache, etc.)
Peripheral blood circulation disorder (arteriosclerosis obliterans: ASO, Burger’s disease)
Facial paralysis, sudden deafness, cerebral infarction, gas poisoning

Pain Mechanisms Group

Our goal is to understand mechanisms of pain and establish new therapy for acute and chronic pain patients.

1. Roles of catecholamine in pain modulation system
2. Neuronal circuits of pain perception in spinal cord and brain (in vivo patch clamp technique)
3. Functional and morphological investigations of relation of pain and brain function (with MRI, MEG, EEG, and PET)
4. Evaluation of drug efficacy in patients with EEG, MRI, and reaction to heat stimulation.
5. Drug delivery system for acute and chronic pain patients

Neurophysiology / Cell biology Group

1. The site of action of anesthetic agents in neuron
2. Effects of local anesthetics on regeneration process of axons

Circulation Group

1. Drug metabolism under general anesthesia/ cardiopulmonary bypass
2. Relation of cardiovascular failure, Brain circulation, and drug metabolism
3. New therapy for severe arterial blood flow disorder with combination of peripheral nerve block, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and induction of angiogenesis using growth factor
4. CT-guided nerve block, epiduroscopy
