A scoping review of randomized trials assessing the impact of n-of-1 trials on clinical outcomes.

Very few trials have been undertaken to assess the effectiveness of n-of-1 trials in improving clinical outcomes, and most trials were underpowered for the primary outcome. Barriers to enrollment and retention in these trials should be explored, as well-powered randomized trials are needed to clarify the clinical impact of n-of-1 trials and assess their utility in clinical practice.
