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

| Low Level Laser Therapy | Patients that received prophylactic LLLT in addition to standard of care measures for oral mucositis or other toxicity of therapy. The radiation and chemotherapy dose, schedule, modality, technique, and any required adjustments will not be influenced by this protocol and will follow standard existing institutional practices. Low Level Laser Therapy: LLLT three times per week concurrently with chemoradiotherapy. LLLT may be delivered either immediately prior to or after the patient's daily fraction of radiotherapy. Patients will be treated extra-orally with a THORĀ® LED cluster for one minute along the buccal mucosa on each side and intraorally for one minute to the tongue and soft palate. During each LLLT treatment session a thorough oral exam performed to identify any areas of mucositis. Patients that develop intraoral lesions are targeted directly with the intraoral probe for one minute to each site of mucositis. The laser settings used are as follows: frequency 2.5 Hz; wavelength 660 nm; and power 75 mW, for an energy of 4.5 J. | 7 | None | 18 | 47 | 47 | 47 | View |
