Follow-up / long-term follow-up
In many trials, patients give updates on their condition and quality of life at set time points after their main treatment (for instance, six months, or one year after they were treated in the main trial).
This is known as a follow-up. It often involves a member of the trial team contacting patients individually to collect their feedback.
