Σύνοψη	A single-blind single-subject experimental design (SB-SSED) applies a single-blind protocol to an N-of-1 experiment: one individual participant is studied intensively across alternating or sequential phases, and either the participant or the assessor — but not both — is kept unaware of the current treatment condition. This design combines the idiographic power of single-subject methodology with a structured blinding control to reduce performance or assessment bias, and is common in applied behavior analysis, clinical psychology, and rehabilitation research.	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.
