Headache Treatment in Tokyo Midtown Clinic
About the clinic
Tokyo Midtown Clinic assesses headaches in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, using neurology consultations, detailed questionnaires, and head imaging. Dr. Koichi Ohki, a board-certified neurologist with over 25 years of experience, leads its headache and dizziness service.
Headache diagnosis and imaging
The assessment helps distinguish migraine and other primary headaches from causes needing further care. Neurology consultations are available for new, chronic, or recurring headaches, including headaches with dizziness, seizures, or speech problems.
- Neurology consultation: A specialist reviews symptoms and a detailed headache questionnaire.
- Neurosurgery consultation: A specialist can assess stroke risk and unruptured aneurysms.
- Head MRI and MRA: A 3.0 Tesla scan takes about 20 minutes and can show tumours, silent infarctions, aneurysms, and narrowed blood vessels.
- 80-slice CT: Provides cross-sectional images when MRI is not indicated or available.
- Laboratory and other tests: In-house blood and urine tests are available. General blood results are explained the same day, usually within about an hour. ECG, X-ray, and ultrasound may support the workup.
Specialist care and follow-up
Dr. Ohki has led the headache and dizziness service since 2012. His credentials include board certification in internal medicine, neurology, and stroke medicine in Japan.
- Headache management: Outpatient care combines specialist assessment with imaging when needed to check for serious causes.
- Video follow-up: Online consultations are available to review symptoms and examination results.
- Hospital referral: Complex or surgical cases may be referred to partner hospitals, including Tokyo Medical University Hospital and Cancer Institute Ariake Hospital.
The clinic holds JCI accreditation for its Outpatient Care Program, first awarded in 2015 and renewed. Neurology, imaging, and laboratory services are located on one floor. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Outpatient Specialties and Advanced Methods
The clinic provides specialized care across more than 10 medical departments. Key areas include:

Specialists with over 40 years of experience manage the procedure.
Neurological services include cognitive rehabilitation and lifestyle support for memory loss patients. For chronic headaches, neurosurgeons use detailed questionnaires and imaging. This helps distinguish migraines from serious conditions like brain tumors. A dedicated dental department performs periodontal tissue regeneration and gum disease screening.
