תקציר	A double-blind single-subject experimental design applies systematic masking — concealing treatment assignment from both the participant and the outcome assessor — within a within-person repeated-measures framework. It is used when researchers need strong causal inference about an intervention's effect on a single individual while guarding against placebo responses and observer bias. Particularly prominent in pharmacological, behavioral, and clinical rehabilitation research.	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.
