Resum	A crossover factorial experiment combines two powerful design principles: factorial structure, which studies multiple factors and their interactions simultaneously, and crossover structure, in which each participant receives more than one treatment combination across sequential periods. By serving as their own control, participants reduce between-subject variability, improving statistical power while also revealing how different factor levels interact within the same individual.	A crossover randomized controlled trial (crossover RCT) is an experimental design in which each participant receives all study interventions in a randomized sequence, separated by a washout period. Because every participant serves as their own control, within-subject variability is eliminated from the treatment comparison, yielding greater statistical power per participant than a parallel-group RCT of equal size.
