About this trial

The primary goal of this study is to investigate whether a one-time dose of 20 mg oral propranolol can temporarily reduce the adverse emotional and physical symptoms triggered by misophonia.

The secondary goals of this study are:

1. Determine potential predictors of response to propranolol treatment, including demographic factors, baseline symptom severity, psychometric instrument item responses, and physiological characteristics. 2. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of propranolol in individuals with misophonia.
