Lindner Center of HOPE’s High Hopes Auxiliary will present HOPE on the Green, a women’s golf shamble on Monday, May 17, 2021. The event is intended to raise funds in support of Lindner Center of HOPE’s telehealth services. High Hopes is an organization of caring volunteers serving Lindner Center of HOPE.

Why Telehealth Services?

Lindner Center of HOPE quickly learned last March that telehealth upgrades were essential to continue serving patients when the shelter in place/stay at home order was mandated. This service continues today and is here to stay.  Clinicians are communicating in this fashion with patients, their family members and loved ones. In fact, it has created greater access than ever.

Upgrades to telehealth services at the Center are necessary. New software platforms will be added, additional technology will be purchased and increasing the Center’s Internet broadband width is essential for continued telehealth service.

The event will be held at Hyde Park Country Club, 3740 Erie Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio 45208. The schedule is as follows:

Breakfast: 8 am
Shotgun Start: 9 am
19th Hole & Art Auction: 1 pm
Luncheon & Awards:  2 pm
All registrations include breakfast and lunch.

 19th Hole Happy Hour and Awards Ceremony immediately following play.

Blake Gustafson and Amy Russert are Co-Chairs of HOPE on the Green

Sponsorship and registration information can be found at www.lindnercenterofhope.org/donate. We encourage you to visit the event site and find out more details!

Office of Innovation at University of Cincinnati Supported Utility Patent Process for this Method to Modulate Brain-Body Communication

Francisco Romo-Nava, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Chief Research Officer for The Research Institute at Lindner Center of HOPE and Assistant Professor for the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences at the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine, has been awarded a United States patent for transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation for the purpose of treating psychiatric disorders. The Office of Innovation at University of Cincinnati supported the utility patent process for this method to modulate brain-body communication in the context of psychiatric disorders.

The utility patent will aid in the advancement of grant proposals for testing the use of this method in treating psychiatric disorders, allowing for concept expansion, the possibility of private company collaboration to further develop the method, and potential funding for the development of technology for delivering the treatment for public good.

Romo-Nava has been exploring a novel “Neuroscience of the Body” research approach that considers psychiatric disorders not only affect the brain, but also the body. Likewise, the body also affects the brain.

In 2018, The Research Institute at Lindner Center of HOPE launched a pilot study specifically looking at the communication between the brain and the body and the role spinal pathways play in the origins of psychiatric disorders. The hypothesis is that the communication between the brain and the body is disturbed in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (and other psychiatric disorders) which contributes to depressive symptoms and consequently may contribute to elevate the risk of medical comorbidity. Though this area needs additional study, it has been gaining focus as it explains why a patient with a psychiatric disorder might also have more physical illness.

The study, which is ongoing, is looking at the impact of non-invasive spinal stimulation for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. The team is testing an exclusively investigational device to apply a small electrical current through the skin to modulate spinal pathways and modify the disturbed communication between the brain and the body. The patent will protect the idea of modulating the spinal cord function for the purposes of treating psychiatric disorders with UC as assignee.

“We are proposing that by modulating spinal cord function we can have an effect on the psychiatric disorder. We are gathering these data to give us a signal of how to develop new methods to treat depression and, ideally, expand to other psychiatric disorders,” said Romo-Nava.

Romo-Nava received the 2017 Young Investigator Award from the National Alliance for Research in Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD) granted by the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation for this study. Dr. Romo-Nava is also currently funded by a NIMH K23 Career Development Award.

The study is currently recruiting participants between the ages of 18 and 55 who are currently moderately depressed for at least one month and not currently on medication for the treatment of depression. Participants would be required to complete a phone screening, attend a screening visit that includes labs and other tests, attend a baseline visit and attend 20-minute stimulation sessions three times per week for eight weeks. Eligible participants will be compensated up to $250 for their time and travel. A pre-screening questionnaire, as well as more information on this and other studies conducted at the Lindner Center of HOPE Research Institute can be found at www.LCOH.info.
