Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the influence of stress on inflammation and the symptomatology of the patient with back pain. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) will be used in half of participants, a validated psychopedagogical intervention for stress reduction, and the participants assigned to the control group will follow the usual treatment, according to their diagnosis.
Detailed Description
The Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) is a psycho-educational program of stress reduction based on mindfulness. It consists of a program of 30 hours of duration divided into 9 sessions with a weekly frequency of 2.5 h and an intensive session between the week 6 and 7 of the program with a duration of 7.5 hours. Each week, the theoretical contents that are necessary to understand the attention development practices will be covered. In addition, basic concepts of the psychobiology and psychology of stress and pain will be explained. The subjects will have a homework load of approximately 45 minutes per day during the intervention program.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Stress change
Time Frame: Baseline and Six months
Measured with the variation of cortisol in blood. These samples are obtained from a blood test that will be done to the participants before and after starting the experimental and control programs.
Variation of the nocturnal apnea index.
Time Frame: Baseline and Six months
Sleep and breathing analysis: The performance of the sleep and breathing registration tests will be carried out in the patient's home. The sleep study will be done with a validated respiratory polygraphy (BTI-APNiA®). The sleep analysis will be controlled by a sleep technician and supervised by a sleep medicine specialist. The sleep analysis will be done to the participants before and after starting the experimental and control programs.
Variation of cytokines
Time Frame: Baseline and Six months
((TNF) -α and interleukin (IL) -1β, IL-6 and IL17), as an approximate biomarker of inflammation. Bio-chemical markers of the discopathy: Cytokines ((TNF) -α, interleukin (IL) -1β, IL-6 and IL-17). These samples are obtained from a blood test that will be done to the participants before and after starting the experimental and control programs.
