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

| Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) | Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS): Transcutaneous electrical nerve-stimulation (TENS) is a nonpharmacologic means of pain control that delivers electrical currents through the skin. These pulses of electrical current reduce pain by peripheral and central mechanisms, TENS actives descending inhibitory systems in the central nervous system to reduce sensitivity to pain (hypoalgesia). Assessment of previous TENS research identifies intensity as a critical factor in efficacy-documenting high intensity as the best means of pain control, as the higher pulse allows for deeper tissue afferents to be activated. TENS has been researched in a number of settings as pain control, including cancer pain, lower back pain, labor, and a range of gynecologic procedures and disorders.
