Autologous Adipose Derived Stem Cells Transplantation in the Treatment of Keloids.

Summary

Keloids are the most common disfiguring skin disorder affecting colored population with a prevalence of upto 16%. Autologous adipose derived stem cells have been found to have potential therapeutic benefits however limited clinical trials have compared there role to standard therapy. This is a pilot study that is intended to evaluate the feasibility of conducting this clinical trial comparing adipose derived stromal vascular fraction to Triamcinolone in keloid treatment. The full clinical trial is already registered under the clinical trial number NCT04391621. The objective of this Pilot is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a full study on the same topic.
