      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients who meet the inclusion criteria are randomly assigned to treatment and control groups after signing the informed consent form. Random allocation will be done by a person outside the study using a computerized randomization program and random blocks of four people, Blinding description: Random allocation will be done by an individual outside the study. This randomization technique will be used to ensure that principal investigators are blinded to random allocation. According to the study design, the researcher who implements the cell or exosome injection intervention will be aware of the groups. However, unblinded clinical teams administering the cells or exosome (anaesthesiologist or other teams) will not have contact with participants before or after administration. Also, the data collection and analysis of the study will be done by a research assistant who is blinded to the allocation and intervention.</study_design>
