Σύνοψη	The double-blind AB design is a single-subject experimental approach that sequences a baseline phase (A) and an intervention phase (B) while concealing phase allocation from both the participant and the outcome assessor. It merges the idiographic focus of single-case methodology with the bias-control mechanism of double-blinding, making it especially useful in clinical rehabilitation, pain research, and behavioral medicine when objective measurement of an individual's response to treatment is the primary goal.	The ABA design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates experimental control through three sequential phases: a baseline phase (A1), an intervention phase (B), and a return-to-baseline withdrawal phase (A2). By removing the intervention in the final phase and observing whether behavior reverts toward baseline levels, researchers establish a functional relationship between the treatment and the target behavior for an individual participant.
