Yes: The gall bladder stores and concentrates bile made by the liver to help digest and absorb fats. The gallbladder has nerves which control ejection of the bile when needed. In biliary dyskinesia the contraction of the gallbladder is abnormal. The duct cointracts first and then the gallbladder. So the gallbladder is trying to eject bile through a closed tight opening. This causes pain without stones.
