RReADS Database

The Repository of Registered Analgesic Device Studies (RReADS) database provides a snapshot of registered analgesic device clinical trials and a scorecard for public availability of results. A description of the RReADS database is provided by Dufka et al. (2015). Links to websites listed in the database may not still be active, and some studies may have had full publication of results since the most recent updating of the database. Links to the most recent version of the database follow:
