Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation

Welcome to CMER!

The Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation (CMER) is actively conducting clinical research on Misophonia, providing education to the public, and evaluating adult patients with treatment and management recommendations about Misophonia. Given how little is known about Misophonia, the opportunities for discovery and improved care are virtually limitless.

We are excited to announce our next CMER Quarterly Webinar, “Naming Misophonia: A Talk on Discovery & Treatment Development”, with Dr. Pawel Jastreboff will take place on Wednesday, December 10th, 12-1pm ET. 

24 years ago, the term “misophonia” was coined by Drs. Margaret and Pawel Jastreboff. Join us next month to chat with Dr. Pawel Jastreboff about how misophonia was named and his treatment development.

CMER Director, Dr. Zach Rosenthal, was invited to talk about Misophonia to members of the American Counseling Association. Over 600 clinicians attended, and by the end, they were eager to learn more and dive deeper into understanding Misophonia!

Misophonia has been proposed as a new diagnostic code in the ICD-11!

The proposal was submitted by a multi-disciplinary workgroup of sufferers and loved ones with lived experience, scientists, and clinicians.

If the proposal is accepted, the ability to formally diagnose Misophonia would increase physician and healthcare provider awareness of Misophonia and allow them to bill payers (e.g., insurance) when providing clinical services for people with Misophonia.

You must register/log in to view the proposal.
