Over the last 5 years there has been a tremendous rise in interest in personalized medicine and patient-centred healthcare. This has resulted in an expanding focus on the value of single-case research methods (also known as N-of-1 or Single-Case Designs (SCDs)). SCDs use repeated measures, frequent data collection and patient-reported outcome measures to draw conclusions about an individual.
We use “SCD” as a broad term that includes all SCD sub-designs, encompassing Single-Case Experimental Designs (SCEDs), N-of-1 randomised controlled trials (N-of-1 trials) and Single-Case Observational Designs (SCODs)—all with specific ...
