# Capturing Pain Scale Rating

The **Pain Scale Rating** feature allows users to record and update a patient's pain level visually and intuitively using smiley face indicators.

***

### Steps to Use the Pain Scale Rating

* In the **Medical Records** screen, select either **Diagnosis**, **Casesheet**, or **Medication** tab, and click the **Pain Scale** indicator located near the patient’s photo.
* A pain scale rating pop-up with smiling faces will appear, showing different pain levels.
* Select the face that matches the patient’s pain level. The color and expression on the smiley face will change based on your selection.
* To update the rating, click the **Pain Scale** indicator again and choose a different face.
