Summary

Symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease and the leading cause of disability in industrialized countries. Therapeutic approaches to prevent the development and progression of osteoarthritis are disappointing and very limited. New therapeutic alternatives seem essential to better manage his daily life. Non-drug approaches, including psycho-corporal approaches are increasingly used in the management of chronic pain. Mindfulness is a technique of attention training, which is to focus one's attention on the present moment and to examine the sensations that come to mind, how they appear, how they last time, and how they disappear. Regarding rheumatological pathologies, a Mindfulness Program (MBSR) has shown its effectiveness in chronic pain; and in particular in osteo-articular localization, such as chronic low back pain. A recent study found a correlation between a pre-disposition to mindfulness and less pain and / or better quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, to the knowledge of investigator, no study has evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention based on a mindfulness training program as a therapeutic alternative in osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. The goal of investigator is to evaluate, using a randomized, controlled study, the effect of a mindfulness program (according to the MBSR protocol) on pain, function, psychological state and quality of life patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis
