Tiivistelmä	A single-blind factorial experiment combines factorial design — simultaneously varying two or more independent factors across all their level combinations — with single-blinding, in which participants are unaware of which treatment condition they have been assigned to while researchers and administrators remain unmasked. This design enables efficient estimation of main effects and interactions while reducing participant-side response bias.	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.
