Cholecystokinin (CCK) administration has been shown to reduce lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure in normal subjects in manometric studies. Functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) panometry offers a method to assess esophageal motility in response to sustained distension though mechanisms related to this response remain unexplored. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of CCK-8 on the esophageal response to distension in asymptomatic volunteers using FLIP.
