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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) + Rehabilitation (1) | This group receives vagus nerve stimulation during rehabilitation. VNS and rehabilitation are the interventions. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) | None | None | 0 | 8 | 4 | 8 | View |
| Vagus Nerve Stim (VNS) + Rehabilitation (2) - Comparator | This group receives rehabilitation and VNS, but the VNS is different than given in the other group (rehabilitation is the only true intervention in this group). It may not be as effective as the other group's settings. Both groups receive the same amount of rehabilitation. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) | None | None | 3 | 9 | 4 | 9 | View |
