For example, a medicine versus a placebo and you alternate that, usually for up to three times per treatment. The big advantage of this is you find out for that person whether the treatment is helpful or harmful. The limitation of n-of-1-trial isthat you can only use it for diseases that are chronic and stable and where you go more or less go back to the state you were in to begin with after the treatment. So it's good for treatment of symptoms but not fora cure for the disease.GETIT entry: http://www.getitglossary.org/term/single+participant+trial
