Brief Summary

Chronic wounds that fail to heal over extended periods pose a significant financial burden on the healthcare system, underscoring the urgent need to enhance clinical treatments. Among the most promising approaches are stem cell-based therapies. Substantial evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can facilitate the healing of chronic wounds in both animal models and preclinical studies, primarily through their paracrine actions. The bioactive factors and cytokines secreted by MSCs can be harvested in the form of conditioned medium. This medium has been processed into a lyophilized powder for clinical use. Patients with chronic wounds will recruited and divided into two groups: the control group will receive the commonly used fibroblast growth factor, while the experimental group was treated with the lyophilized powder. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of this Stem cell and exosome in treating chronic wounds (especially pilonidal sinus).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Wound healing time

    In the control group, the healing process generally takes about 2-3 weeks. In the experimental group, a shorter duration is expected. In this study, the wound healing times of both groups will be evaluated and compared.

    3 weeks

  • Cosmetic results

    In this study, the worst healing wounds will receive a score of 1, and the best-healed wounds, which are closest to normal skin, will receive a score of 10. In short, a low score indicates poor wound healing and poor cosmetic, while a high score indicates that the wound has achieved a good cosmetic appearance.

    2 month

  • Skin burn rate

    In patients treated with crystallized phenol, skin burns can occur during application. To prevent this, Furacin ointment is applied around the wound. However, we still encounter skin burns. In this study, it is expected that the experimental groups will have a lower burn rate compared to the control group. The burn rate will be evaluated in this study.

    2 weeks

  • Average time to full daily activities

    It refers to the time when patients return to their routine lives after the procedure.

    1 week

  • VAS score

    Patient visual analog scale (VAS) scores will be assessed both prior to the procedure and again 10 days, 20 days following the procedure and after recovery.

    7 weeks

  • Success rate

    The succes rate will be calculated after interventions

    7 weeks

  • Recurrence rate

    The recurrence rate will be calculated after interventions

    7 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Bleeding rate

    1 week

  • Infection rate

    7 week

  • Total complication rate

    7 weeks

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group, the classic non-operative technique is employed. The pilonidal sinus is debrided under local anesthesia, followed by the injection of crystallized phenol + Exosome into the wound.

Biological: Crystallized phenol + Exosome

Crystallized phenol + Stem Cell

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group, the classic non-operative technique is employed. The pilonidal sinus is debrided under local anesthesia, followed by the injection of crystallized phenol + Stem cell into the wound.
