Aim: To critically evaluate single-case design (SCD) studies performed within the population of children/adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods: A scoping review of SCD studies of children/adolescents with CP. Demographic, methodological, and statistical data were extracted. Articles were evaluated using the Risk of Bias in N-of-1 Trials (RoBiNT) Scale and the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) extension for N-of-1 trials (CENT 2015). Comments regarding strengths and limitations were analyzed.Results: Studies investigated the effects of a wide range of interventions on various outcomes. Most SCD types were adopted in multiple studies. All studies used visual inspection rather than visual analysis, often complemented with basic statistical descriptives. Risk of bias was high, particularly concerning internal validity. Many CENT items were insufficiently reported. Several benefits and limitations of SCD were identified.Conclusions: The quality of evidence from results of SCD studies needs to be increased through risk of bias reduction.

脑瘫儿童的单例设计研究：范围回顾。

目的：严格评估在脑瘫（CP）儿童/青少年人群中进行的单例设计（SCD）研究。方法：对儿童/青少年CP（CP）儿童SCD研究进行范围界定。提取了人口统计学，方法学和统计数据。使用N比1试验的偏倚风险（RoBiNT）量表和N比1试验的合并报告标准（CONSORT）扩展对文章进行了评估（CENT 2015）。结果：研究调查了各种干预措施对各种结果的影响。大多数SCD类型被多项研究采用。所有研究都使用目视检查而不是目视分析，通常会辅以基本的统计描述。偏见的风险很高，尤其是在内部有效性方面。许多CENT项目的报告不足。确定了SCD的几个优点和局限性。结论：SCD研究结果的证据质量需要通过减少偏倚的风险来提高。
