Associations of personality and physiologic characteristics have been of interest for centuries and remain a topic of scientific pursuit. This editorial reviews the association of personality, pain response and autonomic function in the context of the accompanying article “Exploring the relationships for visceral and somatic pain with autonomic control and personality” by Paine, et al.
