Could a Quit-Smoking pill soothe your gut pain?

NCT ID NCT06854406

Summary

This small, early-stage study from the Mayo Clinic explored whether varenicline, a medication used to help people quit smoking, could reduce abdominal pain and sensitivity in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Eight adults with IBS-related pain participated. Researchers measured how the drug affected sensations in the rectum during balloon distension tests to see if it could ease discomfort.
