Randomized, multicenter, international clinical trial (one center in Barcelona and one center in Bergamo, Italy), with exploratory intention. The main objective of the study will be to assess changes in quality of life, mood, chronic pain and sleep after the delivery of a Mindfulness program. The secondary objectives will be: to evaluate if this program also affects blood pressure, if the changes are maintained six months after treatment and if it determines the decrease in health resources used. The intervention group will do Mindfulness sessions according to an established protocol of 8 weeks, while the control group will follow the normal clinical routine. The Mindfulness protocol will be carried out in group sessions led by a therapist with experience in mindfulness and compassion, lasting 120 minutes, weekly, which will take place over 8 weeks. Two separate studies will be done, one for patients with acromegaly which will be the first to take place and then another for patients with Cushing\'s syndrome.
