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

| Post Tibial Nerve Stimulation Group (PTNS) | NURO TM: The lower extremity will be palpated and a needle insertion site will be identified 5 cm from the medial malleolus and posterior to the tibia. Between the posterior margin of the tibia and the soleus muscle, a 34-gauge acupuncture-like needle will be inserted 3-4 cm to the tibial nerve. A grounding pad will be placed on the bottom of the foot just below the smallest toe. An inactive grounding pad will be placed on top of the foot above the small toe to be consistent with the sham pad placement. The needle and grounding pad will be connected to the stimulator and the stimulation will be increased from 0 to 10 Milli-ampere. The needle will be taped. The electrical current will be set by the subject and the mA will be recorded. A 30 minute stimulation session will be given at 20 Hz. | 0 | None | 0 | 18 | 0 | 18 | View |
| Sham Group | Sham: A needle will be inserted into the lower extremity approximately 5 cm cephalad from the medial malleolus and posterior to the tibia. A sham needle will be used a the tibial nerve insertion site. This will stimulate needle placement without puncturing the skin. The needle will be taped in place. The "grounding pad" from the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit device will be placed on the bottom of the foot below the smallest toe. Another electrode will be placed on the top of the foot above the small toe for conduction. The TENS electrode will be connected to the TENS unit, at 20 Hz (the same as the PTNS group). The unit will be turned on and the stimulation will be increased to the subject's first sensory level. The subject will sense stimulation to either the bottom of the foot or the toe. the TENS unit will be on for a 30 minute test period. The TENS unit will be removed and the needle will be discarded. | 0 | None | 0 | 22 | 0 | 22 | View |
