Introduction & Objective: Chronic back pain imposes a heavy burden on individuals, families, societies and governments from a medical, psychological, social and economic point of view and is known as a common, recurring and costly problem all over the world, so the present study aims to determine the effectiveness of treatment. Acceptance and commitment were done on emotional flexibility and spiritual distress of women with chronic back pain.

They were selected by available sampling method and randomly placed in two groups (10 people in the experimental group and 10 people in the control group). The experimental group underwent intervention in eight face-to-face sessions of 90 minutes in a period of two months, and the control group received the usual intervention.
