The trial consisted of him giving pairs of men different combinations of treatments for six days. Over the years, Dr. Lind has been credited as being the first to use this method of a control group, which is still practiced today. We don’ t know too much about his exact findings, but we do know he inspired researchers around the world.
To honor this accomplishment we celebrate every May 20 as International Clinical Trials Day. This day recognizes how far clinical research has come and where it will continue to go. Thanks to Dr. James Lind, clinical research professionals and volunteers we no longer have to live a life without medicine.
About 80,000 clinical trials are in progress at any one time. These and future trials seek partners to help get new drugs and treatments approved by the FDA and to the public. If you are interest in being a part of this, see information below:
