Buspirone 20 mg per oral

Drug: Buspirone
Administration of buspirone to assess esophageal sensitivity

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Placebo

Drug: Placebo
Administration of placebo to assess differences in esophageal sensitivity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in sensitivity to thermal stimulation [After 30 minutes after administration buspirone]

    To detect changes in thermal stimulation for sensitivity

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in sensitivity to mechanical stimulation [After 45 minutes after administration buspirone]

    To detect changes in mechanical stimulation for sensitivity

  2. Change in sensitivity to electrical stimulation [After 60 minutes after administration buspirone]

    To detect changes in electrical stimulation for sensitivity

  3. Change in sensitivity to chemical stimulation [After 75 minutes after administration buspirone]

    To detect changes in chemical stimulation for sensitivity

  4. Change in positive and negative affect score [At the beginning of the study and at the end of the multimodal stimulation]

    to detect change in affect of the multimodal stimulation

  5. Change in state trait and anxiety score [At the beginning of the study and at the end of the multimodal stimulation]

    to detect changes in the score due to the multimodal stimulation
