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
| Title | Description | Deaths # Affected | Deaths # At Risk | Serious # Affected | Serious # At Risk | Other # Affected | Other # At Risk | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dual Care | Unlinked co-occurrence of conventional medical care and chiropractic care Dual Care: Participants allocated to Dual Care receive medical care as described plus chiropractic care over a 12-week period. Chiropractic care includes standard therapies for back pain. A doctor of chiropractic determines the therapeutic approach based upon a participant's clinical presentation. Treatments may include spinal or extremity joint manipulation, such as: high velocity-low amplitude or low velocity-variable amplitude maneuvers; mechanical device assisted adjustments; or passive mobilization. Recommendations for exercise, lifestyle modifications, or other therapies may be provided. | 0 | None | 0 | 44 | 36 | 44 | View |
| Shared Care | Co-management of medical care and chiropractic care Shared Care: Participants allocated to Shared Care receive co-managed medical care from a medical or osteopathic doctor and chiropractic care from a doctor of chiropractic over a 12-week period. The medical and chiropractic treatments are standard therapies for back pain, as described under Medical Care and Dual Care. | 0 | None | 0 | 44 | 34 | 44 | View |
| Medical Care | Conventional medical care alone Medical Care: Participants allocated to all three treatment groups receive medical care over a 12-week period. Medical treatments are standard therapies for back pain. Medical and osteopathic physicians follow clinical practice guideline recommendations for back pain: focused history and physical exam; limited diagnostic imaging; self-management education; maintaining physical activity as tolerated and local heat/cold application; pharmacotherapy with analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents. Participants not responding to treatment may receive additional therapies such as physical therapy or specialist referral. | 0 | None | 0 | 43 | 10 | 43 | View |
