Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Clinical Trial Description

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a promising psychotherapy for supporting traditional behavioral methods for treating misophonia, but has not been previously tested. ACT teaches skills to develop acceptance, mindfulness, and defusion from difficult internal experiences while increasing connections with personal values and encouraging meaningful behavioral changes. This study will help determine if ACT+behavioral intervention is a feasible and acceptable treatment for misophonia, help clarify active psychological mechanisms of misophonia, and determine whether or not this combination of services can effectively help individuals diagnosed with misophonia. ;
