Treatment for Youth (Ages 8 to 16 Years Old) With Misophonia (U-HEAR)

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Misophonia

In brief

If someone is really sensitive to certain noises and sounds, they might have misophonia. U-HEAR is a study created to find out what helps kids and teens with misophonia. There are two treatments being tested in this study. The treatment your child receives will be determined at random. There will be a Two-Thirds (2/3rds or 66%) chance your child will receive a treatment called the Unified Protocol for Children and Adolescents (UP-C/A) that has been modified to meet the needs for youth with misophonia. There is a One-Third (1/3rd or 33%) chance your child will receive a treatment called Psychoeducation and Relaxation. All participants will get ten free treatment sessions. Each session will last one hour and happen once a week. The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the UP-C/A for youth with misophonia.
