You have been asked to participate in this study because you are interested in learning mindfulness and have been diagnosed with chronic low-back pain. Your participation is voluntary. We will randomly assign 40 subjects to each group for the initiation of the final phase of the study. Randomization means that you have a one in two chance of being assigned to the mindfulness meditation training or book-listening control intervention. Your assignment is based on chance rather than a medical decision made by the researchers.
