A Large‐Scale Study of Misophonia

Journal of Clinical Psychology, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 74(3), С. 453 - 479

Опубликована: Май 31, 2017

We aim to elucidate misophonia, a condition in which particular sounds elicit disproportionally strong aversive reactions.A large online study extensively surveyed personal, developmental, and clinical characteristics of over 300 misophonics.Most participants indicated that their symptoms started childhood or early teenage years. Severity misophonic responses increases time. One third reported having family members with similar symptoms. Half our no comorbid conditions, the other half variety conditions. Only posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was related severity Remarkably, experiencing euphoric, relaxing, tingling sensations sights, relatively unfamiliar phenomenon called autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR).It is unlikely another "real" underlying clinical, psychiatric, psychological can explain away misophonia. The possible relationship PTSD ASMR warrants further investigation.

Objective Analyze a large sample with detailed clinical data of misophonia subjects in order to determine the psychiatric, somatic and psychological nature condition. Methods This observational study 779 suspected was conducted from January 2013 May 2017 at outpatient-clinic Amsterdam University Medical Centers, location AMC, Netherlands. We examined DSM-IV diagnoses, results examination (general screening hearing tests), 17 questionnaires (e.g., SCL-90-R, WHOQoL). Results The diagnosis confirmed 575 referred (74%). In (mean age, 34.17 [SD = 12.22] years; 399 women [69%]), 148 (26%) had comorbid traits obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, 58 (10%) mood disorders, 31 (5%) attention-deficit (hyperactivity) 14 (3%) autism spectrum conditions. Two percent reported tinnitus 1% hyperacusis. random subgroup 109 we performed audiometry, found unilateral loss 3 them (3%). Clinical neurological additional blood test showed no abnormalities. Psychological tests revealed perfectionism (97% CPQ>25) neuroticism (stanine 7 NEO-PI-R). Quality life heavily impaired associated severity (rs (184) -.34 p < .001, .001). Limitations single site study, leading possible selection–and confirmation bias, since AMC-criteria were used. Conclusions is largest ever described. Based on these propose set revised criteria useful diagnose as psychiatric disorder.

Investigating Misophonia: A Review of the Empirical Literature, Clinical Implications, and a Research Agenda

Frontiers in Neuroscience, Год журнала: 2018, Номер 12

Опубликована: Фев. 7, 2018

Misophonia is a neurobehavioral syndrome phenotypically characterized by heightened autonomic nervous system arousal and negative emotional reactivity (e.g., irritation, anger, anxiety) in response to decreased tolerance for specific sounds. The aims of this review are (a) characterize the current state field research on misophonia, (b) highlight what can be inferred from small literature inform treatment individuals with (c) outline an agenda topic. We extend previous reviews topic critically reviewing investigating mechanisms misophonia differences between other conditions. In addition, we integrate but growing basic applied literatures cross-disciplinary manner.

Misophonia is a disorder of decreased tolerance to specific sounds or their associated stimuli that has been characterized using different language and methodologies. The absence common understanding foundational definition misophonia hinders progress in research understand the develop effective treatments for individuals suffering from misophonia. From June 2020 through January 2021, authors conducted study determine whether committee experts with diverse expertise related could consensus An expert used modified Delphi method evaluate candidate definitional statements were identified systematic review published literature. Over four rounds iterative voting, revision, exclusion, made decisions include, exclude, revise these based on currently available scientific clinical evidence.

Sensory determinants of the autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR): understanding the triggers

PeerJ, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 5, С. e3846 - e3846

Опубликована: Окт. 6, 2017

The autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is an atypical phenomenon involving electrostatic-like tingling sensations in to certain sensory, primarily audio-visual, stimuli. current study used online questionnaire, completed by 130 people who self-reported experiencing ASMR. We aimed extend preliminary investigations into the experience, and establish key multisensory factors contributing successful induction of ASMR through media. Aspects such as timing trigger load, atmosphere, characteristics content, ideal spatial distance from various types stimuli, visual characteristics, context use triggers, audio preferences are explored. Lower-pitched, complex sounds were found be especially effective slow-paced, detail-focused videos. Conversely, background music inhibited sensation for many respondents. These results will help designing media induction.

The Psychophysiological Implications of Soundscape: A Systematic Review of Empirical Literature and a Research Agenda

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 16(19), С. 3533 - 3533

The soundscape is defined by the International Standard Organization (ISO) 12913-1 as human's perception of acoustic environment, in context, accompanying physiological and psychological responses. Previous research synthesized with studies designed to investigate at 'unconscious' level an effort more specifically conceptualize biomarkers soundscape. This review aims firstly, consistency methodologies applied for investigation aspects soundscape; secondly, underline feasibility markers finally, explore association between responses well-founded components which are continually advancing. For this review, Web Science, PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO were searched peer-reviewed articles published English combinations keywords 'soundscape', 'environmental noise/sound', 'physiology/physiological', 'psychology/psychological', 'perceptual attributes/affective/subjective assessment/appraisals'. suggests that Electrocardiography (ECG) Vectorcardiography (VCG) biometrics quantifying Heart Rate (HR), stimulus-locked experimental design, passive listening homogeneous populations predominantly characterize psychophysiology underlying Pleasantness arousal most frequent descriptors subjective appraisals.

Misophonia is associated with altered brain activity in the auditory cortex and salience network

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 9(1)

Abstract Misophonia is characterized by intense rage and disgust provoked hearing specific human sounds resulting in social isolation due to avoidance. We exposed patients with symptom provoking audiovisual stimuli investigate brain activity of emotional responses. 21 misophonia 23 matched healthy controls were recruited at the psychiatry department Amsterdam UMC. Participants presented three different conditions, related cues (video clips e.g. lip smacking loud breathing), aversive (violent or disgusting from movies), neutral someone meditating) during fMRI. Electrocardiography was recorded determine physiological changes self-report measures used assess changes. Misophonic elicited anger, sadness compared controls. Emotional associated increases heart rate. The neuroimaging data revealed increased activation right insula, anterior cingulate cortex superior temporal viewing misophonic video clips. Our results demonstrate that trigger anger arousal misophonia, auditory salience network.

Abstract Objective To scope the literature describing misophonia populations, management, and research opportunities. Method Literature searches for studies patients diagnosed with misophonia, defining a patient profile, or outlining development testing of an intervention misophonia. A data extraction form was developed piloted before from each article were independently charted by two researchers. Researchers then agreed on final set article. Results Thirty‐one records included. The population described in terms onset age, triggers, reaction, coping strategies, comorbid conditions. We identified nine outcome measures. Case treatments included cognitive behavioral therapy, counterconditioning, mindfulness acceptance, dialectical pharmaceuticals. Future priorities clarifying phenomenology prevalence randomized controlled trials treatments. Conclusion Misophonia is under‐researched but there are strong foundations future to finalize diagnostic criteria, validate measures, trial
