　　2.Clinical Services

　　Acute Ischemic Stroke: Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is performed via a rapid green channel and emergency imaging system to restore cerebral perfusion and neurological function.

　　Cerebrovascular Interventional Therapy: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA), mechanical thrombectomy, and stenting are performed to diagnose and treat vascular stenosis or occlusion.

　　Canalith Repositioning Procedure for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Various maneuvers including Epley maneuver and Barbecue maneuver are highly effective for treating BPPV.

　　Neurophysiological procedures: Electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and evoked potential studies are conducted to evaluate epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, and neuromuscular disorders.

　　Auricular Acupuncture Therapy: It is applied for sudden hearing loss and tinnitus to improve inner ear microcirculation.
