Brief Summary

This project aims to study the effectiveness of a pain education program in the improvement of chronic pain and disability/impairment. Assuming the definition established in the United States in 1975 on the fourth working group of the National Conference on Preventive Medicine: "Health education must be a process that informs, motivates and helps people to adopt and maintain practices and healthy lifestyles, environmental advocates changes necessary to facilitate these objectives and professional training and directs research towards the same objectives. " Once the need of educating patients is stablished on subjects with diseases, it is necessary to encourage them to actively participate on the control of them and to achieve significant improvement of adherence
