possible miso treatment approach using stim and emotional regulation skills

A potential treatment approach for misophonia is to combine neurostimulation with concurrent trigger exposure and targeted coaching in emotional regulation strategies. In this model, participants would be guided through techniques such as cognitive distancing while hearing trigger sounds, allowing them to practice regulating their responses in real time. Simultaneously, excitatory stimulation could be applied to regions involved in emotion regulation, while inhibitory stimulation is directed toward areas that tend to be hyperactive in misophonia. This paired approach aims to strengthen regulatory circuits and dampen maladaptive responses as they are occurring. (Neacsiu et al., 2022)
