Adverse Events Module

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

NCT ID: NCT03372460
Description: Adverse events were spontaneously reported by participants and systematically assessed through a side effects questionnaire that was administered before and after each tDCS + virtual reality session.
Frequency Threshold: 0
Time Frame: Up to three months
Study: NCT03372460
Study Brief: tDCS Plus Virtual Reality for PTSD
Event Groups(If Any):

Event Groups

Title Description Deaths # Affected Deaths # At Risk Serious # Affected Serious # At Risk Other # Affected Other # At Risk View
Active Stimulation Active stimulation (tDCS) will be used in the dose of 2mA /25 min per day, for 6 sessions over the course of 2 weeks (3 sessions per week). Active stimulation: For active tDCS, the investigators will use a 1x1 configuration with the anode placed over EEG coordinates AF7/Fp1/AF3 (using the 10-20 EEG convention) and the cathode between EEG coordinate OZ and the contralateral mastoid (covering approximately PO8/P8). The investigators will use 3x3 cm sponge covered electrodes and a 2mA current for 25 minutes per session. Virtual Reality (VR): Participants will undergo VR exposure to trauma-related context. 0 None 2 26 18 26 View
Sham Stimulation Sham tDCS uses the device study mode (10 µA over 15 ms current pulse applied every 550 ms, 3ms peak current). This process will be used for each of the 6 sessions during a 2 week period. Sham stimulation: For sham tDCS, the investigators will use the same electrode and sponge configuration as active tDCS, but using the device study mode (10 µA over 15 ms current pulse applied every 550 ms, 3ms peak current). Virtual Reality (VR): Participants will undergo VR exposure to trauma-related context. 0 None 2 28 18 28 View
