Abstract
The present invention concerns the stimulation of neural tissue, in particular brain tissue for the control of micturition. By activation of the pontine micturition centre (PMC) to induce micturition and deactivation of the pontine micturition centre to inhibit micturition, patients suffering from overactive bladder (OAB) and urge incontinence regain control of the disposal of urine. This treatment will greatly improve these patients' quality of life and helps them to restore their self-confidence.
