Resumen	The single-blind pretest-posttest experimental design combines two protective strategies: measuring outcomes both before and after treatment to quantify change, and keeping participants unaware of which condition they are in. This pairing controls for preexisting group differences and expectancy-driven response bias, making it a practical middle ground between fully open-label and double-blind trials in behavioral and health 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.
