For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling Gel Pack - Venous Leg Ulcer | A cooling pack was applied to affected leg skin where an ulcer was recently healed for 30 minutes three times a week (preventive maintenance). Participants self monitored skin temperature of affected skin daily to detect elevation and cooled the affected skin daily for 5 consecutive days (bolus) if the skin temperature became elevated 2°F above the baseline. Cooling gel pack: Individuals self monitored temperature of skin over a recently healed venous leg ulcer with a dermal thermometer. A cooling gel pack was applied to skin of recently healed venous leg ulcers for 30 minutes 3 times a week for six months. If the temperature of this skin site increased and stayed elevated 2°F above the usual temperature of that site, the individual cooled the skin 5 consecutive days and continued to monitor skin temperature. | 1 | None | 4 | 42 | 14 | 42 | View |
| Cooling Cotton Pack - Venous Leg Ulcer | A cooling cotton pack was applied to affected leg skin where an ulcer was recently healed, for 30 minutes three times a week (preventive maintenance). Patients self monitored temperature of affected skin daily to detect elevation and cooled the affected skin daily for 5 consecutive days (bolus) if the skin temperature became elevated 2°F above the baseline. Cooling cotton pack: Individuals self monitored skin temperature of skin over a recently healed leg ulcer with a dermal thermometer. A cotton filled pack was applied to skin of recently healed venous leg ulcers for 30 minutes 3 times a week for six months. If the temperature of this skin site increased and stayed elevated 2°F above the usual temperature of that site, the individual cooled the skin 5 consecutive days and continued to monitor skin temperature. | 0 | None | 2 | 40 | 7 | 40 | View |
| Cooling Gel Pack - Diabetic Foot Ulcer | A cooling pack was applied to affected foot skin where an ulcer was recently healed for 30 minutes three times a week (preventive maintenance). Participants self monitored skin temperature of affected skin daily to detect elevation and cooled the affected skin daily for 5 consecutive days (bolus) if the skin temperature became elevated 2°F above the baseline. Cooling gel pack: Individuals self monitored temperature of skin over a recently healed diabetic foot ulcer with a dermal thermometer. A cooling gel pack was applied to skin of recently healed diabetic foot ulcers for 30 minutes 3 times a week for six months. If the temperature of this skin site increased and stayed elevated 2°F above the usual temperature of that site, the individual cooled the skin 5 consecutive days and continued to monitor skin temperature. | 0 | None | 3 | 29 | 15 | 29 | View |
