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

| Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation | Active tDCS for 30 minutes daily for 4 sessions Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: tDCS is a form of noninvasive, painless, brain stimulation that uses a mild direct electrical current passed between electrodes on the scalp to modify neuronal membrane resting potential in a polarity dependent manner, elevating or lowering neuron excitability in a region. | 0 | None | 0 | 19 | 0 | 19 | View |
| Sham Stimulation | Sham stimulation sessions will be for 30 minutes daily for each of the 4 sessions; however, active stimulation for this arm of the study is only for 30 seconds; yet, will be applied at the same intensity as the Active arm of the study, albeit for only 30 seconds.
