Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in patient's skin condition

    Evaluation of the effectiveness of the method of application of stem cells in the described indications by evaluating the time after which there will be an improvement of 50% in the point evaluation scale of the quality of life of the patient in relation to the baseline values. Scale 1: Impact of skin problems on the quality of life. The aim is to assess to what extent skin ailments have affected the patient's life in the last 2 weeks. A five-level scale of evaluation (from 'very strong' to 'not applicable') .The "very strong" value means the worst result, while the "not applicable" value is the best result.

    0-27 weeks

  • Evaluation of skin problems. Assessment of skin related complaints since the last visit.

    Scale 2: A seven-level grading scale (from "0" to "6").The value "0" means the best result, while "6" is the worst result.

    0-27 weeks

  • The assessment of the scar by the patient.

    Scale 3: Six-point scale (from '1' to '6'). The value "1" means the best result, while "6" is the worst result.

    0-27 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Changes in volume of the skin (USG)

    0-27 weeks

  • Changes in skin surface morphology (digital imagining)

    0-27 weeks

  • Record of adverse events

    0-27 weeks
