Adverse Events Module

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

Sham tDCS and MBSR Includes a combination of 8 weeks of in-class group MBSR + sham tDCS and daily at home MBSR + sham tDCS. Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neurostimulation (also known as neuromodulation) where very low levels of direct electrical current are delivered to specifically targeted areas of the brain, in order to increase neuroplasticity. The direct current in active tDCS will be of 2 milliampere (mA) (current density = 0.57 A/m2), however, the device is pre-programmed to turn off after 1 minute of active stimulation (and then turn back on briefly at the end of the 30 minutes). Most of the adverse events in this study were mild and transient. They included tingling, itching, pain and redness on the scalp, and headaches. Three participants reported worsening of their depressive symptoms; however, this did not lead them to discontinue the study. There were no safety issues associated with tDCS. Adherence with tDCS administration and in-class attendance were comparable in the sham and active groups, suggesting that active tDCS did not cause adverse effects or discomfort associated with non-adherence. 0 None 0 14 7 14 View

Active Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neurostimulation (also known as neuromodulation) where very low levels of direct electrical current are delivered to specifically targeted areas of the brain, in order to increase neuroplasticity. The direct current in active tDCS will be of 2 mA (current density = 0.57 A/m2) and will be applied for approximately 30 minutes per day during meditative practices of the MBSR protocol. Most of the adverse events in this study were mild and transient. They included tingling, itching, pain and redness on the scalp, and headaches. Three participants reported worsening of their depressive symptoms; however, this did not lead them to discontinue the study. There were no safety issues associated with tDCS.
