Study Overview

Brief Summary

The null hypothesis for this study is that the combination of solifenacin and Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) is not different from PTNS alone. However the investigators anticipate a 20% improvement in patients receiving combination therapy as measured by the OAB-q (Overactive Bladder questionnaire) scores.
