Protocol summary

Study aim
A comparative study of the efficacy of Wharton jelly mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium injection combined with hyaluronic acid and platelet rich plasma injection combined with hyaluronic acid in the treatment of atrophic acne scars in patients treated with CO2 fractional laser
Design
Clinical trial with control group, double-blind, randomized, on 20 patients. The rand function of Excel software was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Interventions will be performed in the skin and stem cells center. The patient under study and the two dermatologists evaluating the atrophic scar lesions are not aware of the type of injection performed in each area. Patients are divided into two groups a and b. In both groups, hyaluronic acid injection was performed in one half of the face. In group b, on the opposite side, stem cells conditioned medium was injected, and in group a, prp was also injected.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The inclusion criteria for the study included all 20 patients who were diagnosed with atrophic acne scars and were treated with fractional CO2 laser before the start of the study, but did not fully recovered. Exclusion criteria: Age less than 18 years or more than 60 years; Atrophic scar created in the last 6 months; Performing therapeutic intervention for atrophic scar in the last one month except CO2 fractional laser; Bleeding and coagulation disorders; Pregnancy; Breastfeeding
Intervention groups
All patients are divided into two groups a and b. In group a, one half of the face, prp in combination with hyaluronic acid was injected. in the opposite half hyaluronic acid was injected. In group b, in one half of the face, hyaluronic acid injection is performed and in the opposite half, the injection of stem cell conditioned medium and hyaluronic acid is performed.
Main outcome variables
Improvement of severity of atrophic acne scar

Number of samples in each individual: 2
In group a, all patients are treated with mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium in one half of the face in combination with noncross linked hyaluronic acid, and in the opposite half, noncross linked hyaluronic acid is injected alone. In group b, all patients are injected with prp in one half of the face. with noncross-linked hyaluronic acid, and in the opposite half, injection of noncross-linked hyaluronic acid is performed alone.
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The studied subjects are divided into two groups of ten people named a and b by simple randomization. The method of randomization is as follows: when people enter the study, out of twenty envelopes whose contents are completely invisible and ten of them contain the letter a and ten contain the letter b, they choose one envelope. and are placed in group a or b. Also, all people in group a choose one envelope from the other 2 envelopes that contain the letters R and L, and each patient chooses the envelope containing the letter L to inject mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium in The combination with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid will be performed on the acne scar on the left side of the face, and each patient will be injected on the right side by selecting the envelope containing the letter R. Also, all the people of group b chose one envelope from the two envelopes containing the letters R and L. If the letter L is inserted, prp injection in combination with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid on the left side of the face, and if the letter R is inserted, the above injection. It will be done on the right side of the face. Obviously, in both groups a and b, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid will be injected alone on the opposite side. In group A, all patients were injected with mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium in one half of the face in combination with noncross linked hyaluronic acid, and in the opposite half, noncross linked hyaluronic acid was injected alone. In group B, all patients were injected with PRP in combination with noncross linked hyaluronic acid in one half of the face, and noncross linked hyaluronic acid was injected alone in the opposite half.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The participants in the study, as well as the physician evaluating the clinical outcome, as well as the statistician analyzing the data, are kept blind to the type of injection performed at each location.
