Purpose
In this study we want to evaluate the clinical use of allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), obtained from bone marrow of healthy donors, for treatment of Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). The trial is based in previous results with autologous MSC (Orozco et al., Transplantation 92: 822-828; 2011). Here we propose a phase I-II trial, prospective, randomized, blinded, and controlled for the treatment DDD using MSV, a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant expanded bone marrow MSC (MSV, PEI Num. 10-134). The assay consists of two arms with 12 patients each one. Patients in the experimental arm will be given a single intra-discal transplantation of MSV (25 millions in 2 ml). Control patients will be infiltrated in the paravertebral muscles close to the lesion with 2 ml of 1% mepivacain. We shall follow the evolution of pain, disability and quality of life as well as disc fluid content by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (T2-calibrated).

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: up to one year ]Number of participants with adverse events will be used as a measure of safety and tolerability. Adverse events reported: clinical review and questionaires for pain, disability and quality of life at 0, 3, 6 and 12 months
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Pain and disability evolution [ Time Frame: up to 1 year ]Clinical review and questionaires (Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and Oswestry questionnaires) at 0, 3, 6 and 12 months.
- Evolution of affected disc(s) by quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (RMI) [ Time Frame: up to one year ]RMI density measurements in T2 weighted images performed at 0, 6 and 12 months used as an indication of disc fluid content
- Llife quality evolution (Short Form (SF)-12 questionnaire) [ Time Frame: up to 1 year ]SF-12 scores at 0, 3, 3 and 12 months
