Many people who think they are having gallbladder attacks are actually having this issue. They tend to make trips to the doctor in pain but sonograms show no gall bladder problem with stones.
Note in this article how the word spasm is mentioned. In my experience as a massage therapist there is no better way to relieve spasms than a modality called Myofascial Release MFR. I had worked for many years before learning of The Sphincter of Oddi but I find MFR most always helps this.

The sphincter of Oddi, a muscle that controls the flow of bile and pancreatic secretions into the duodenum, normally relaxes to facilitate this flow. Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) occurs when this relaxation doesn't happen properly, potentially causing pain and other symptoms. Various factors can influence sphincter relaxation, including hormones, nerves, and medications.
Here's a more detailed look:
Normal Function:
The sphincter of Oddi is a smooth muscle valve that regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic secretions from the liver and pancreas into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.
This flow is essential for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The sphincter normally relaxes to allow these secretions to flow into the duodenum.
Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD):
SOD is a broad term referring to a condition where the sphincter of Oddi does not relax appropriately, either due to spasms or strictures, which can obstruct the flow of bile and pancreatic secretions.
This can lead to a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and potentially pancreatitis.
