1. An anthropomorphic phantom for use with cryoneurolysis procedure training, comprising:
a phantom body shaped to simulate a human anatomical structure, the phantom body comprising a first material configured to simulate human soft tissue;
a simulated nerve embedded within the first material, and wherein the simulated nerve comprises a sensor configured to detect a signal from a cryoneurolysis training needle, and wherein the signal comprises a change in temperature caused by the cryoneurolysis training needle.
