Background summary
In the guidelines of Overactive Bladder , PTNS is prescribed when all other treatments have failed. In the trial we want to investigate the efectiveness when given primarily. And particularly when it is given in combination with the now already given bladder training.

3. 12 weeks.
Intervention
1. PTNS (Posterior tibial nerve stimulation);
2. Bladder training.
