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.
PRIMER Summer Workshop for High School Students
Applications are now open for our second annual Prospective Researchers Investigating Misophonia & Emotion Regulation (PRIMER) Summer Workshop! This virtual workshop will take place from July 29-31, 2026.
PRIMER is a virtual summer workshop for high school students interested in misophonia research. Students especially interested in pursuing research in college should consider applying for this workshop.
Through interactive lectures and a mock project, leaders in the field will guide students in gaining foundational knowledge in:
- Science of misophonia
- Conduct of human research
- Project development
Applications are due July 3rd, 2026, 11:59pm EST

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.
