Peripheral Nerve Block With CAIG
The participants in this group (test group) will utilize the same procedure utilizing existing ultrasound equipment with the supplemental CAIG system. Peripheral Nerve Blocks with CAIG: The Clear Guide ONE is a Computer Assisted Instrument Guidance (CAIG) device which supplements existing ultrasound capabilities. The participants randomly selected (out of 100 patients) for use of the Clear Guide ONE (test group) will receive ultrasound guidance as well as CAIG from the MDs performing the procedure.
Peripheral Nerve Block Without CAIG
The participants in the control group will receive the procedure with traditional ultrasound methods and equipment.
