Adverse Events Module

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

NCT ID: NCT03422250
Description: A questionnaire was administered to all participants to monitor events occurring within 24 hours after each tDCS session. A questionnaire was also administered at the end of the first and last tDCS sessions to monitor the occurrence of the most common discomfort sensations related to tDCS and their intensity.
Frequency Threshold: 0
Time Frame: Adverse events were monitored from the time of enrollment to follow-up assessment (approx 6 months).
Study: NCT03422250
Study Brief: Non-invasive Stimulation of Brain Networks and Cognition in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia
