      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be randomly assigned to the control and MSC groups. The method of random assignment of these two groups is block randomization. The size of the blocks is 6 people and using Random allocation software, the sequence of assigning patients to the groups is determined, and this sequence will be kept by the transplant manager, Blinding description: This study is a double-blind study. Patients and study analysts will be unaware of the type of treatment assigned. To achieve this goal, by using a biological product in the form of disposable 5 cc syringes that are already filled by the nurse and are completely "similar" to the type of treatment received, to blind the participants in the study. Also, the people who apply the treatment will be different from the people who are responsible for examining and evaluating the patients, and the biological product packages will be labeled according to a specific code. Only the doctor and the person in charge of the transplant will know the type of treatment the patients receive.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: Patients receiving 3 doses of normal saline + Hyaluronic acid                                                                                                                 The procedure will be performed in such a way that patients are injected intra-articular injection of 2 cc of normal saline with 2 cc of hyaluronic acid in three times at 0, 2 and 4 months intervals in the operating room of Royan Clinic. At the time of injection, the patient's knee is sterilized and the orthopedic surgeon will inject into the joint space under sterile conditions. After the injection, the patient is monitored for 2 hours and after this period, if there is no problem with the necessary medication and care instructions and explanation of warning signs will be discharged. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Patients receiving 3 doses of normal saline containing 20 million Mesenchymal cells derived from allogenic umbilical cord tissue + Hyaluronic acid                                                                                                                           The method of intervention will be that patients in three times at intervals of 0, 2 and 4 months in the operating room of Royan Clinic, injected with 2 cc of normal saline containing 20 million mesenchymal stem cells derived from non-native umbilical cord tissue with 2 cc of hyaluronic Acids are placed. On the day of cell transplantation, it is sent to this center for injection by the clean room of Cell Tech Pharmed factory in a vial and inside a box. The patient's knee is sterilized and the orthopedic surgeon will inject into the joint space under sterile conditions. After the injection, the patient is monitored for 2 hours and after this period, if there is no problem with the necessary medication and care instructions and explanation of warning signs will be discharged.</i_freetext>
