Objective This study investigates whether individuals who have sustained an electrical injury (EI) are diagnosed with unspecified pain or pain related to the musculoskeletal system in the years following the injury. Methods Individuals listed in Danish registers as having sustained EIs were matched for sex, age, and year of injury in a cohort study with individuals having experienced dislocations/sprains (match 1), eye injuries (match 2), and a sample of individuals with the same occupation without a history of electrical injuries (match 3). Outcomes were  unspecified pain  and  unspecified soft tissue disorders . Conditional logistic regression and conditional Cox regression were applied. Results We identified 14,112 individuals who sustained EIs. A higher risk of both outcomes was observed for all three matches, and was highest at the 6- and 12-month follow-ups. The risk of both outcomes was considerably higher for match 3. Conclusions This study confirms that exposure to EIs increases the risk of being diagnosed with  unspecified pain  or  unspecified soft tissue disorders  both at short and long terms. Our results also showed that the risk of unspecified pain as sequelae is related to the severity of the injury.
