In children 7-12 years of age with functional abdominal pain (n=42) determine:
Aim 1 - To examine and characterize the threshold of the exposure (PK) vs. response (PD) relationship of PMO (menthol)
Aim 2 - PD of PMO as assessed by:
An initial single-dose PK study will be carried out. Forty-two children (n=21 per dose) will be randomized to receive approximately 10.9 mg·kg-1·d-1 of PMO or to receive approximately 18.2 mg·kg-1·d-1 (1.67-fold the median dose).
Following the single-dose PK study, a PD study will be carried out wherein the subjects will receive their assigned dose of PMO for 7 days.
At baseline (before the PK study) and after the PK study (i.e., during the PD study), subjects will keep a pain and stooling diary, collect stool for microbiome analysis, and swallow a SmartPill to measure gut motility and transit time. At baseline only, anxiety, depression, somatization will be measured. During the PD study, any side effects will be recorded.
