Adverse event reporting in clinical trials of intravenous and invasive pain treatments: an ACTTION systematic review

Thorough assessment and reporting of adverse events (AEs) facilitates a detailed understanding of a treatment’s risk-benefit profile. Although the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2004 statement provides recommendations regarding AE reporting, adherence to these standards is often inadequate. We investigated AE reporting in clinical trials of intravenous and invasive pain treatments published in 6 major anesthesiology and pain journals between 2000-2003 and 2006-2012. We examined whether AE reporting improved following publication of the 2004 CONSORT recommendations and also comprehensively reviewed AE assessment using the Analgesic, Anesthetic, and Addiction Clinical Trial Translations, Innovations, Opportunities, and Networks (ACTTION) AE reporting recommendations.
