About this trial

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.
