The purpose of the study is to compare patient centered- outcomes between Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) at three locations to treat urinary urge incontinence. One of these locations will be along the tibial nerve, which is traditionally accessed near the medial malleolus. The second site will be on the sacral nerve which is accessed over the sacrum. The third site will be a sham site on the shoulder. This study will evaluate the feasibility of transcutaneous electrical stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder.
