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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Perioperative Pain Regimen | Opioid Analgesic: Patients will be provided a prescription for low dose opioids for 5 days postoperatively (Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325mg or Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 5/325mg) to be taken every 6 hours as needed for pain. Refills may be provided (Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5/325mg or Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 5/325mg) if requested by the patient at the providers discretion. In addition, patients will also be prescribed Gabapentin 300mg q8 hours or Pregabalin 75mg twice daily and a muscle relaxer (Methocarbamol 750mg BID or Flexeril 5-10 mg TID) as needed for spasms. Alternative muscle relaxers (Metaxalone 800 mg TID or Tizanidine 2-6 mg TID) may be utilized if contraindications to methocarbamol and cyclobenzaprine exist. | 0 | None | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | View |
| Opioid-Free Perioperative Pain Regimen | Opioid-Free Postoperative Pain Regimen: Patients will receive no opioids. Pain will be managed with Acetaminophen 1000mg q8 hours, Ketorolac 10mg every 6 hours (for 5 days), Gabapentin 300mg q8 hours or Pregabalin 75mg twice daily, and a muscle relaxer (Methocarbamol 750mg BID or Cyclobenzaprine 5-10 mg TID) all to be taken as scheduled for the first 2 weeks (except Ketorolac - 5 days) postoperatively as side effects permit. Other NSAIDS (Naprosyn 500 mg BID or Ibuprofen 800 mg TID) may be utilized if contraindications to Ketorolac exist. Famotidine (20mg BID) or Omeprazole (20mg daily) will be prescribed along with NSAIDS for GI prophylaxis. Alternative muscle relaxers (Metaxalone 800 mg TID or Tizanidine 2-6 mg TID) may be utilized if contraindications to methocarbamol and cyclobenzaprine exist. | 0 | None | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | View |
