What is a Patient Diary?

A patient diary is a tool used in clinical trials for participants to record information about their health, symptoms, or treatment experiences in real-time. These diaries help collect important data outside of the clinic, such as how participants feel, how they are responding to treatment, and any side effects they experience. Patient diaries can be paper-based or electronic (eDiary), depending on the trial's requirements.

For example, in a migraine study, participants might use a diary to log the time of onset, severity of pain, and any medications taken each day.

Why is a Patient Diary Important?

Patient diaries play a critical role in capturing real-world, participant-reported data that can influence clinical trial outcomes. Key benefits include:

• Accurate Data Collection: Provides a detailed and time-specific record of symptoms, treatment use, and side effects.
• Real-Time Insights: Captures experiences as they happen, reducing recall bias and improving data quality.
• Improved Treatment Understanding: Helps researchers assess how well participants respond to the investigational treatment in their daily lives.
• Participant Engagement: Encourages participants to actively contribute to the trial and feel involved in their care.
• Supporting Decision-Making: Helps researchers and regulators understand the treatment's real-world effectiveness and safety.

Patient diaries are particularly valuable in trials that involve chronic conditions or require regular self-monitoring.
