Filter by:Misophonia, the inability to tolerate certain repetitive distressing sounds that are common, is gaining, recognition as an impairing condition. It is not a well-understood condition and there are no known treatments. The purpose of this study is to test a new misophonia intervention that uses emotion regulation strategies and different types of brain stimulation on misophonic distress. This study will examine changes in brain activity during presentation and regulation of misophonic versus distressing sounds. The study team plans to alter activity in a key area of the brain responsible for emotion regulation circuitry over 4 sessions with the goal to test if this intervention helps misophonic distress. Sixty adult participants with moderate to severe misophonia will be recruited and taught an emotion regulation skill and randomly assigned to receive one of two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). The study includes 9-10 visits: the remote screening visit(s), the initial MRI, the four neurostimulation sessions, the follow-up MRI, and two additional remote 1- and 3-month follow-up visits.
The investigators are proposing to test Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)+ traditional audiological behavioral intervention as an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach for the assessment and treatment of misophonia. Participants will be 60 adults with misophonia and will be randomly assigned to receive 12 sessions of ACT+behavioral intervention or receive 12 weeks of progressive relaxation training+psychoeducation (PRT; a commonly used active control condition) after undergoing a comprehensive psychological and audiological evaluation.
If someone is really sensitive to certain noises and sounds, they might have misophonia. U-HEAR is a study created to find out what helps kids and teens with misophonia. There are two treatments being tested in this study. The treatment your child receives will be determined at random. There will be a Two-Thirds (2/3rds or 66%) chance your child will receive a treatment called the Unified Protocol for Children and Adolescents (UP-C/A) that has been modified to meet the needs for youth with misophonia. There is a One-Third (1/3rd or 33%) chance your child will receive a treatment called Psychoeducation and Relaxation. All participants will get ten free treatment sessions. Each session will last one hour and happen once a week. The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the UP-C/A for youth with misophonia.
