Tiivistelmä	A single-blind full factorial experiment systematically tests every combination of all factor levels while keeping participants unaware of their treatment assignment. This design allows simultaneous estimation of all main effects and all interaction effects between factors, with single-blind masking reducing participant-side biases such as demand characteristics and expectation effects — without requiring investigator blinding.	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.
