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

| Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) | Prior to the procedure, the patient will have two sets of two self-adhesive electrodes placed parallel to the spinal cord at the T10-L1 and S2-S4 levels for TENS administration. For participants randomized to the experimental group, the non-blinded study coordinator will turn on the TENS unit 5 minutes prior to the procedure and monitor stimulating frequency level (80-100 Hz and pulse duration of 400 microseconds; intensity or frequency will be monitored to be administered to a non-painful level). Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS): A low-level electrical current through the skin activates the descending inhibitory systems in the central nervous system. | 0 | None | 0 | 35 | 0 | 35 | View |
| Sham | For the participants randomized to sham, the same placement of electrodes will occur, but the unit will not be delivering electrical stimulation. Sham: No current applied through pads. | 0 | None | 0 | 35 | 0 | 35 | View |
