সারসংক্ষেপ	The single-blind AB design is a single-subject experimental design that combines the two-phase AB structure — a baseline phase (A) followed by an intervention phase (B) — with assessor or observer masking. The individual collecting or rating outcome data is kept unaware of which phase is being measured, preventing knowledge of treatment status from biasing behavioral observations or ratings. The design improves on the standard AB design by reducing detection bias while retaining the practical and ethical advantages of single-subject methodology.	A single-blind randomized controlled trial (SB-RCT) is a rigorous experimental design in which participants are randomly assigned to treatment or control conditions while remaining unaware of which condition they have received. Investigators, outcome assessors, and data analysts are not blinded. By masking participants, the design eliminates placebo and nocebo response biases on the participant side, while preserving investigator flexibility to administer and monitor the intervention.
