5. Primary diagnosis before InterStim implant is urinary urge incontinence.
6. Must be willing to maintain her current regimen (dosage and frequency) of any overactive bladder (OAB) medication (anticholinergic, antimuscarinic or Myrbetriq (Mirabegron)) or tricyclic antidepression medication over the study duration, if applicable.
7. Female subject 18 years of age or older
8. Willing and able to accurately complete voiding diaries and questionnaires, attend visits (within the visit windows +7 days), and comply with the study protocol that includes maintenance of InterStim programming settings over the course of the study

24. Have knowledge of planned diathermy, microwave exposure, high output ultrasonic exposure, RF energy exposure, or MRI scans not included within the scanning conditions provided within the MRI Guidelines for InterStim Therapy neurostimulation systems.
25. Have an anticipated system modification within the next 5 months
26. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant (women of child-bearing potential must undergo a pregnancy test, with a clear negative result, no more than 7 days prior to randomization visit)
27. Subjects who frequently use the patient programmer to change device program settings ("frequently" is defined as at least once a day and does not include shutting off the device for safety purposes)
28. Characteristics indicating a poor understanding of the study or characteristics that indicate the subject may have poor compliance with the study protocol.
29. Study site personnel will contact the Medtronic Study Manager (or designee) to determine if a potential subject who plans to enroll in an investigational device or drug trial, or is currently enrolled in an investigational device or drug trial is eligible for this study
