Takasaki Pain Clinic
About
Takasaki Pain Clinic, located in Shibasakicho, Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, is a pain clinic specializing in internal medicine. The clinic specializes in headache treatment, with a physician certified by the Japanese Headache Society providing care. Headache treatment has evolved significantly from the era of masking pain with over-the-counter medications and NSAIDs to an era of prevention. The clinic provides specialized care for individuals with specific patterns, including those who self-diagnose migraines without a medical diagnosis, use over-the-counter medications more than 10 times per month, or continue to experience headaches more than 6-8 times per month even while taking migraine medications. As of December 2024, the clinic has administered anti-CGRP antibody preparations, a new migraine preventive medication, to 230 patients. The clinic also treats neuropathic pain, primarily focusing on herpes zoster, and offers regular vaccinations. Since April 2024, Takasaki City has launched a subsidy program for herpes zoster vaccines, allowing individuals aged 50 and older to receive vaccinations under the same conditions. The clinic director has been giving lectures on herpes zoster vaccines since 2022, with lectures scheduled in Nagano City and Ueda City in 2025. In 2026, the clinic was featured in the special feature "Skilled Doctors Assemble Here!" in the magazine "LEE." The clinic is well-equipped with English language support, acceptance of credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments, parking facilities, and barrier-free accessibility.
