To compare the efficacy of individualized herbal decoction with controlled decoction for  individual patients with stable bronchiectasis. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. We conducted N\u2010of\u20101 RCTs (single\u2010patient, double\u2010blind, randomized, multiple crossover design) in 3 patients with stable bronchiectasis. The primary outcome was patient self\u2010rated symptom scores on visual analogue scales. Secondary outcome was 24\u2010hour sputum volume. A clinical efficacy criterion which combined symptoms score and medication preference was also formulated. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. All three patients showed various degrees of improvement on their symptoms and one patient\u2019s (Case 3) 24\u2009h sputum volume decreased from 70\u2009mL to 30\u2009mL. However, no significant differences were found between individualized herbal decoction and control decoction on symptoms score, or on 24\u2010hour sputum volume. One patient (Case 2) had clear preference for the individualized herbal decoction over the standard one with the confirmation after unblinding. We therefore considered this case as clinically important. <jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>. N\u2010of\u20101 trials comply with individualized philosophy of TCM clinical practice and had good compliance. It is necessary to set up clinical efficacy criteria and to consider the interference of acute exacerbation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/148730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,11]],"date-time":"2014-11-11T21:01:00Z","timestamp":1415739660000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Evaluating the Individualized Treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Pilot Study of N\u2010of\u20101 Trials"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2014","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0592-7115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haiyin","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7851-9414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peilan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liyu","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gordon H.","family":"Guyatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4662-0083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thuva","family":"Vanniyasingam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6318-3575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuqing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-112-4-293"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1634\/theoncologist.2009-0047"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S1","DOI":"10.2144\/000112048","article-title":"Pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine: mapping of future value creation","volume":"39","author":"Hu S.
