Abstract:
Overactive bladder can affect patients at any age; however, it is more common in women over age 40 years. Many treatments are available, including behavioral interventions, antimuscarinics, beta-3 agonists, and botulinum toxin injection. This article describes a patient who was successfully treated with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation after traditional treatment failed.
