      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Because we are looking for study groups with equal sample size, limited randomization such as block randomization will be used. Blocking is usually used to balance the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups. This feature helps us in the intermediate analyzes during the sampling process, the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups is equal. Permuted block randomization with block size 3. Participants were assigned to three groups treatment including MSc, exosome and placebo using the block randomization method (triple blocks with equal volume). This ensures balance in the number of groups. In this study, due to the existence of three treatment groups, for 3 blocks (A: Placebo, B: MSc, C: exosome) there will be ten different manners.
Randomized selection will be carried out each time by Random allocation software as follow:

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: patients receive MSC. Each patient will receive 3 injections  (1 × 106 cells / Kg) first injection will be locally and then next two administrations intravenously weekly. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult cells with self-renewing capacities. MSCs display specific properties, such as the ability to repair damaged tissues, resulting in optimal candidates for cell therapy against degenerative diseases. In addition to the reparative functions of MSCs, evidence shows that these cells have potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, MSCs are potential tools for treating inflammation-related diseases. Intervention 2: Control group:patients will receive placebo. Intervention 3: Intervention group: secretome and MSC-secreted extracellular vesicles (Exosome). Each patient will receive 3 injections the first injection will be locally and then the next two administrations intravenously weekly. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have become key cells in therapy because of their immunosuppressive function and anti-inflammatory effects. MSCs exert immunosuppressive effects through direct contact or paracrine action. The paracrine functions of MSCs are at least partially mediated by exosomes, which are membrane vesicles, carrying abundant proteins, nucleic acids and other active molecules. MSC-exos have heterogeneity. The exosomes from different donors, tissues generations of MSCs carry different bioactive molecules.  Exosomes derived from MSCs (MSC-exos) carry immunomodulatory effectors or transmit active signal molecules to regulate the biological activities of immune cells and thus mediating immune suppression.</i_freetext>
