Підсумок	Adaptive single-subject experimental design (adaptive SSED) is an experimental methodology in which a single participant or unit is repeatedly observed under systematically alternated conditions — baseline and intervention — while pre-specified decision rules allow the researcher or clinician to modify treatment parameters, phase lengths, or condition sequences in response to continuously collected data. It merges the internal validity of classical single-case experimental designs with the flexibility of adaptive trial logic, making it especially valuable in clinical, behavioral, and applied settings where individual response trajectories vary substantially.	An N-of-1 trial is a single-patient randomized controlled trial in which a patient alternates between treatment A and treatment B (or active drug and placebo) in repeated, randomized cross-over periods. Developed systematically in the 1990s–2010s by Kravitz, Duan, and Vohra, N-of-1 trials enable personalized medicine by determining which treatment works best for that specific individual, avoiding the assumption that population-average effects apply to all patients. They are ideal for chronic conditions with variable outcomes and heterogeneous treatment response.
