The recruitment status of study NCT04348591 (Identifying the Optimal Neural Target for Misophonia Interventions) was changed from “Not yet recruiting” to “Recruiting” on October 30, 2020.
The clinical trial is a collaboration between Duke University and the Misophonia Research Fund. It was first posted six months ago in April 2020.
The goal is to identify neurostimulation targets that could potentially be used in the treatment of misophonia.
Participants will receive real or sham neurostimulation over the prefrontal cortex and insula in a random order, while engaging in listening to versus downregulating misophonic, aversive, or neutral cues. The investigators plan to assess emotional dysregulation, psychopathology, and misophonia with a multi-method battery of measures during all three study appointments. Feasibility and acceptability will be examined qualitatively. The investigators will use results from this study to design larger trials and to seek federal funding with the ultimate goal of designing an effective misophonia intervention. If successful, our study can be the first step in a series of investigations that establish the unique targets for neural intervention for misophonia.

The 2020 Misophonia Convention will be held October 9-10, 2020 with the possibility of an optional meet-and-greet evening reception on Thursday, October 8.
SPEAKERS AND SCHEDULE:
The conference will be held on Friday, October 9 and Saturday, October 10, from 11:30 AM – 8 PM (EDT), with a possible (to be confirmed later) meet-and-greet reception on Thursday evening, October 8, from 8 – 10 PM (EDT). There will be presentations, topic and discussion groups and 2-hour lunch breaks on Friday and Saturday. The detailed schedule, including information about speakers and topics, will be made available soon.
The Convention will feature the most current and relevant research and information about Misophonia, including presentations from diverse fields of expertise and life, social opportunities and support from others with Misophonia, and interactive sessions and activities. Keep an eye out here and on our website this summer for details on programming.
Our overall goal remains to create an affordable convention that will bring you the very best in current thinking, coping, management, new knowledge, and practical sessions with useful advice and support.

Amsterdam research on Misophonia wins Ig Nobel prize
Psychiatry professor Damiaan Denys of the Amsterdam University Medical Center was awarded an Ig Nobel prize for his years-long research into Misophonia – a mental illness in which certain sounds like snoring, chewing, slurping or lip smacking can drive people to extreme tendencies.
