Pragmatic ABAB Design — Pragmatic Reversal Design

The pragmatic ABAB design is a single-case experimental design that adapts the classic reversal (ABAB) logic to real-world clinical and applied constraints. It alternates between a baseline phase (A) and an intervention phase (B) twice, demonstrating experimental control through repeated phase changes while allowing flexibility — such as abbreviated withdrawals or partial reversals — when full withdrawal of treatment is ethically or practically impossible.
