We consider the statistical analysis of clinical trial designs with multiple simultaneous treatments per subject and multiple raters. The work is motivated by a clinical research project in dermatology where different hair removal techniques were assessed based on a within-subject comparison. We assume that clinical outcomes are assessed by multiple raters as continuous or categorical scores, e.
