Abstract
A literature review of non-acute pain, neurological and psycho-neurological impairments in relation to electrical accidents is performed. Pain in extremities is frequent. Neurological and psycho-neurological symptoms can arise days or months after an electrical accident. The causal mechanisms are not known. The best known non-organic effect is post-traumatic stress disorder. The existing knowledge of long-term consequences of electrical accidents is generally based on cases and patient summaries. There is serious lack of longitudinal studies describing delayed or progressive non-acute symptoms.
