Study Summary
This trial will study if combining traditional behavioral methods with a psychotherapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a feasible and effective treatment for misophonia.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who score at least five on the Misophonia Questionnaire, are stable on psychotropic medication for a month, speak English, and seek treatment for misophonia. It excludes those with psychological/neurological issues that overshadow their misophonia or require urgent care like psychosis or active self-harm.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combined with traditional behavioral intervention against progressive relaxation training plus psychoeducation in treating misophonia. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these two approaches over 12 sessions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this trial involves psychological interventions rather than medications, typical side effects associated with drugs may not apply. However, participants might experience emotional discomfort as they engage in therapy and confront difficult feelings.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Acceptance and commitment therapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
ACT teaches skills to develop acceptance, mindfulness, and defusion from difficult internal experiences while increasing connections with personal values and encouraging meaningful behavioral changes. ACT for misophonia combines core ACT processes with a traditional audiological behavioral intervention for a integrated, multi-disciplinary approach for the assessment and treatment of misophonia. Treatment begins with a brief focus on the behavioral intervention, followed by the teaching of ACT skills to support the use of the behavioral methods. The intervention consists of 12 total individual sessions of ACT+behavioral management.
Group II: Progressive relaxation trainingActive Control1 Intervention
PRT for misophonia consists of basic psychoeducation for misophonia followed by PRT. PRT involves learning to tense and relax muscles. Early sessions focus on tensing and relaxing smaller muscle groups, while later sessions focus on larger muscle groups. Final sessions focus on relaxation as produced by recalling previous relaxation and a review of skills learned. PRT consists of 12 individual total sessions.
