| case study |
Research based on one or a few patients. Case studies may be very detailed and are a good way of finding out about rare conditions or illnesses. Case studies are usually retrospective (looking back at events), not prospective (or looking forwards to events as they happen) and so are not very useful for coming to conclusions about the safety or efficacy of different treatments.
