Interventions

  • Acceptance and commitment therapy — BEHAVIORAL
    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.

Study Details

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.
