Key Findings:  The cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) agonists (arachidonyl-2′-chloroethylamide (ACEA) and HU-210) alone and in combination with opioids effectively decreased visceromotor responses (VMR) and colonic nerve mechanosensitivity in mice suggesting potential novel therapeutic uses for cannabinoids in treating certain types of abdominal pain.
