Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an online intervention for adults with misophonia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is the online intervention effective, compared to a waitlist control condition?
2. Is the online intervention acceptable to use?

Participants will be randomized into either the online intervention or waitlist control condition:

1. Participants in the intervention condition will be asked to complete an 8 module acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) program for misophonia and 5 surveys over 4 months.
2. Participants in the waitlist condition will be asked to complete 5 surveys over 4 months, and will receive access to the intervention once the study is complete.

Conditions

  • Misophonia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Participants will complete the 8-module fully automated digital intervention based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The digital program is based off of an ACT protocol developed in a prior randomized controlled trial and adapted for digital self-help use (Bowers et al., 2024). Modules focus on focus on acceptance, cognitive defusion, present moment awareness, values clarification, and functional adaptations.
