Schroder 2017 findings on the use of CBT to treat Misophonia

In a 2017 study ( the authors claim it the first treatment study for Misophonia) of 90 patients, Schröder et al. demonstrated that group CBT is an effective treatment for misophonia, with 48% meeting response criteria and 9% achieving remission. Symptoms significantly decreased (mean A-MISO-S from 13.6 to 9.1), with no improvement during the waitlist period. Greater baseline severity and the presence of disgust (vs. anger alone) predicted better outcomes (OR = 2.576, p = .038). The authors concluded that CBT techniques like counterconditioning and stimulus manipulation effectively target core misophonia symptoms. (Schröder et al., 2017)
