Evaluation of Gallbladder Contractility Using Both CCK and Milk Consecutively
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Milk and CCK for Abdominal Pain. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.

Interventions
Milk, in the form of 8 oz. half and half, administered after CCK scan, and patient is rescanned and ejection fraction measured to determine if ejection fraction is low.
CCK is standard of care, used in HIDA scans for gallbladder function evaluation. It is given intravenously to cause the gallbladder to contract. The usual dose of CCK is 0.02mg/kg slowly over 3 minutes as per standard.
