Posttraumatic cervical pain, is one of the most common pathologies in the daily consultation of forensic doctor. These processes are in principle not serious, but resulting in disability, which leads to a decreased activity of the injured person in all the areas of daily life. Based on this, we present a study with a sample of 50 injured persons, suffering from acute cervical pain of traumatic origin and we determine the principal feature of personality of each one of them, using the Questionnaire EPQ-A of Eysenck for the valuation of the personality and a Multidimensional Pain Inventory West-Haven-Yale (WHYMPI). From the obtained results we determine that women with posttraumatic cervical pain present mayor levels of neuroticism and minors of sincerity, whereas men present similar low levels of sincerity. As for the valuation of the pain, the results indicate us that treated accordingly, experience a decrease in both the severity of pain as a decrease in the influence of pain on daily life of the injured person.
