Event Group
Event Groups are part of the Adverse Events Module within the Results Section. They provide a way to organize and summarize adverse event data by grouping related events together.
Each Event Group typically represents a category or class of adverse events and includes statistical information such as the number of participants affected and at risk for different event types: deaths, serious events, and other events.
Event Group path is as follows:

Title:
Active tDCS and MBSR
Description:
Includes a combination of 8 weeks of in-class group MBSR + active tDCS and daily at home MBSR + active tDCS.
Active Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neurostimulation (also known as neuromodulation) where very low levels of direct electrical current are delivered to specifically targeted areas of the brain, in order to increase neuroplasticity. The direct current in active tDCS will be of 2 mA (current density = 0.57 A/m2) and will be applied for approximately 30 minutes per day during meditative practices of the MBSR protocol.
Most of the adverse events in this study were mild and transient. They included tingling, itching, pain and redness on the scalp, and headaches. Three participants reported worsening of their depressive symptoms; however, this did not lead them to discontinue the study. There were no safety issues associated with tDCS. Adherence with tDCS administration and in-class attendance were comparable in the sham and active groups, suggesting that active tDCS did not cause adverse effects or discomfort associated with non-adherence.
