Abstract
Objectives: To overcome the limitations of randomized controlled trials, many other trials design is tested. The n-of-1 trial is a promising research method in the field of Korean medicine because of this methodology can examine the optimal treatment for each patient strictly. Therefore, we reviewed the status of N-of-1 studies on herbal medicine. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted based on the pubmed database. The search term were ‘N-of-1 Trial’, ‘Chinese Medicine’, ‘Herbal Medicine’, ‘Kampo’. There was no restriction in year. Results: Four clinical trials have been identified to demonstrate the effectiveness of herbal medicines for Kidney-yin-deficiency syndrome, bronchiectasis and gastric cancer. These studies suggest that the N-of-1 design is a study that encourages patient involvement, demonstrates the effectiveness of herbal medicines and helps reduce unnecessary medication. Conclusion: The N-of-1 clinical trial may be a rigorous methodology suitable for the clinical setting and may help the development of evidence-based Korean medicine. Attention is also needed in this research method in Korea.
