case_images: Prednisone dose vs. A-Miso-S score. The severity of misophonia symptoms experienced by this patient, as measured by the A-Miso-S rating scale vs. the dose of prednisone. Lower scores mean less misophonia symptoms. Of note, 0 mg was his score when not taking steroids, 2 and 4 mg were daily oral doses of prednisone, and 20 mg was the starting dose of a 5-day prednisone taper pack in which the dose was then decreased by 4 mg daily, the score shown here was from his first week of treatment on the steroid pack.

case_images: His A-Miso-S score dropped sharply from 23 to 1, indicating near-complete symptom relief (see Figure 1 for a comparison of A-Miso-S scores with prednisone dosage). This resulted in minimal improvement (A-Miso-S score of 20, see Figure 1), which we and the patient both deemed unsatisfactory.
