Résumé	The double-blind AB design is a single-subject experimental approach that sequences a baseline phase (A) and an intervention phase (B) while concealing phase allocation from both the participant and the outcome assessor. It merges the idiographic focus of single-case methodology with the bias-control mechanism of double-blinding, making it especially useful in clinical rehabilitation, pain research, and behavioral medicine when objective measurement of an individual's response to treatment is the primary goal.	Single-subject experimental design (SSED) establishes experimental control by repeatedly measuring one individual (or a small number of individuals) across baseline and intervention phases, using the participant as their own control. Instead of comparing groups, it compares the participant's own behavior across conditions over time. Widely used in applied behavior analysis, special education, rehabilitation, and clinical psychology, SSED allows causal inference from small or unique samples where group designs are impractical.
