Instructed Cognitive Reappraisal in Reducing Affective, Behavioral and Psychophysiological Symptoms of Misophonia
Sponsor: University of Warsaw, Poland
Summary
Misophonia is a disorder causing intense reactions to specific sounds, disrupting daily life. Current treatments lack evidence-based support. The goal of this study is to explore the effectiveness of cognitive reappraisal (CR) in reducing misophonic responses. The study involves 100 participants assigned to either a 4-week CR program or Autogenic Training. Emotional regulation, symptoms of anxiety and depression, quality of life, and more will be assessed using various questionnaire-based measures; perseverations with a task-based test (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test); the presence of psychiatric and personality disorders using face-to-face interviews (The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) and "Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5® Personality Disorders" (SCID-5-PD)

Cognitive reappraisal
Cognitive reappraisal is a psychotherapeutic strategy utilized to regulate emotions by reinterpreting the meaning of stimuli. Participants will receive instructions on generating and implementing cognitive reappraisal (distancing and reframing) in both misophonic and non-misophonic contexts and will be practicing it within psychotherapeutic sessions. The program consists of four weekly online psychotherapeutic sessions: the first session will be a 90-minute group session, followed by three individual sessions, each lasting 30 minutes.
Schultz Autogenic Training
Schultz Autogenic Training is a relaxation technique aimed at promoting relaxation and reducing physiological arousal. It consists of six exercises focusing on sensations of heaviness, warmth, heartbeat, breathing, abdominal warmth, and coolness of the forehead. The program consists of four weekly online psychotherapeutic sessions: the first session will be a 90-minute group session, followed by three individual sessions, each lasting 30 minutes.
