Sammanfattning	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.	The AB design is the simplest single-subject experimental design, consisting of two sequential phases: a baseline phase (A) in which the target behavior is observed under natural conditions without intervention, followed by an intervention phase (B) in which the treatment or manipulation is introduced. Changes in the behavior's level, trend, or variability between phases are used to infer the effect of the intervention on the individual participant.
