Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation
10 sessions over a 2 week period of TTNS for 30 minutes. Electrodes will be placed 2 inch by 4 inch according to anatomic landmarks, with the negative electrode behind the internal malleolus and the positive electrode 10cm superior to the negative electrode, verified with rhythmic flexion of the toes secondary to stimulation of the flexor digitorum and hallicus brevis. Current intensity may vary from patient to patient and will be documented and used in the analysis.
Control
10 sessions over a 2 week period of TTNS sham stimulation for 30 minutes. Electrodes will be placed 2 inch by 4 inch according to anatomic landmarks, with the negative electrode behind the internal malleolus and the positive electrode 10cm superior to the negative electrode. Current intensity will be set to zero.
