Official Title: A Phase 1b Clinical Study on the Analgesic Effect of GIC-1001 and GIC-1002 on Visceral Pain Under Rectal Distension and Rectal Sensory Threshold Using the Barostat Method in Male and Female Healthy Vo

Brief Summary: This study evaluates colonic analgesia by comparing two novel formulations, GIC-1001 and GIC-1002 with placebo using a barostat distender. The healthy male and female volunteers randomized to one of 5 possible treatments will be exposed to rectal distension following a 3-day treatment TID. The barostat methodology is a well-established and validated way to assess visceral pain. Visceral pain will be evaluated during exposure to varying distender pressures using a visual analog scale.
