| Rezumat≠ | A pilot AB design applies the two-phase baseline-then-intervention structure of the AB single-subject design in an explicitly exploratory or feasibility mode — before committing to a more rigorous reversal or multiple-baseline study. The researcher collects repeated baseline (A) and intervention (B) data from one or a few individuals primarily to test measurement procedures, estimate effect size, verify data stability, and determine whether a stronger single-case design is warranted and feasible. | A pilot randomized controlled trial (pilot RCT) is a small-scale, fully randomized experiment conducted before a definitive RCT to test the feasibility of study procedures, estimate key parameters such as recruitment rates and effect-size variability, and identify practical barriers. It uses the same randomization, intervention, and measurement protocol as the planned full trial but on a fraction of the target sample. The goal is not to confirm efficacy but to refine and justify the main trial design. |
