Resum	A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the gold standard experimental design in clinical and health research, in which participants are randomly allocated to a treatment group or a control group so that the effect of an intervention can be measured with the highest possible degree of internal validity. The modern parallel-group RCT was formalized by Austin Bradford Hill and the Medical Research Council in their landmark streptomycin trial of 1948, and its reporting is governed today by the CONSORT 2010 guidelines (Schulz et al., 2010).	A crossover design is an experimental design in which each participant receives all treatments under investigation, but in a different sequence and across separate time periods. Each subject thus acts as their own control, which substantially reduces between-subject variability and allows efficient treatment comparisons with smaller sample sizes. The approach has been central to clinical pharmacology and comparative research since the mid-20th century, with foundational methodology codified by Senn (2002) and Jones & Kenward (2014).
