Abstract

Introduction: Clinical personality patterns are entities characterized by biopsychosocially grounded constructs that help the subject to behave in a certain way in the areas of the life cycle, these may be affected by age-related cognitive impairment and neurological alterations such as headaches, present in patients receiving specialized treatment. Objectives: To identify clinical personality patterns, determine the levels of cognitive impairment and establish the relationship between the phenomena studied. Methodology: A basic review was carried out to generate knowledge on the principles of the variables, quantitative, field approach, with a non-experimental and transversal design, since it was carried out in a determined time, with a descriptive and correlational scope and an analytical scientific method. Conclusion: there is evidence that the clinical personality pattern that stands out is schizoid. A significant number of the population does not present cognitive impairment. The only significant and negative correlation is between cognitive impairment and the avoidant pattern.
