Inclusion criteria

* Male or female 19 years of age and older * Unilateral shoulder pain with a pain score of 4 or higher. * patients with a symptom duration of at least three months who have not responded to conventional treatments, including analgesics. * patients diagnosed with massive or extensive full-thickness rotator cuff tears confirmed by computed tomography arthrography or magnetic resonance imaging.

Exclusion criteria

* patients diagnosed with small or medium full-thickness rotator cuff tears among study participants with full-thickness rotator cuff tears. * patients who have received subacromial injection therapy in the affected shoulder within the past three months. * patients who have undergone rotator cuff surgery on the affected shoulder within the past six months. * patients exhibiting or suspected of having the following radiological findings: malignant tumors, severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis, or bony abnormalities causing subacromial space narrowing. * patients presenting with symptomatic cervical spine disorders. * patients experiencing bilateral shoulder pain. * patients diagnosed with multiple arthritis, infectious arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fibromyalgia. * patients with neurological deficits. * Pregnant or breastfeeding patients * patients unwilling to use effective contraception during the study period. * patients currently infected with HBV, HCV, or HIV, or those with a positive RPR test result. * patients with severe conditions that may affect the study, including cardiovascular diseases, renal diseases, hepatic diseases, endocrine disorders, or malignancies. * patients who are unable to comprehend the questionnaires used for study assessments, including the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), or those with communication difficulties due to psychiatric disorders. * Any other cases deemed inappropriate for study participation by the investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual Analog Scale(VAS) pain in motion12 monthsUsing a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 100mm line between the no pain anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in the size of rotator cuff tears determined by MRI12 months
Adverse event12 months

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Shoulder ROM (Forward flexion, Abduction, External rotation & Internal rotation at 0 degree)12 months
Muscle strength (lb)12 monthsThe strength the supraspinatus, infraspinatus,and subscapularis was measured using a handheld electronic scale
Pulse rate (beats per minute)12 monthsTo determine the overall safety of Autologous Adipose Tissue Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells carrier using pulse rate
Blood Pressure (mmHg)12 monthsTo determine the overall safety of Autologous Adipose Tissue Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells carrier using blood pressure
CBC(complete blood count)12 monthsThe measures are composite.
Usage amount of rescue medication12 monthsThe total dosage of rescue medication administered to participants during the study period is measured to evaluate the amount of medication required to manage symptoms after treatment.
Frequency of rescue medication12 monthsThe frequency of rescue medication usage is measured to assess how often participants required additional medication to manage symptoms during the study period.
Blood Glucose12 monthsBlood glucose levels are measured to assess glycemic control and detect hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
BUN/Creatinine Ratio12 monthsThe ratio of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine is measured to evaluate kidney function.
Serum Total Protein12 monthsSerum total protein levels are measured to evaluate overall protein status
Serum Albumin12 monthsSerum albumin levels are measured to assess liver function, nutritional status, and oncotic pressure regulation.
Serum total bilirubin12 monthsSerum total bilirubin levels are measured to evaluate liver function
Urine Blood12 monthsUrine blood levels are measured to detect hematuria. Normal range is negative
Serum Alkaline Phosphatase(ALP)12 monthsSerum ALP levels are measured to evaluate liver and bone health.
Serum Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase(γ-GTP)12 monthsSerum γ-GTP levels are measured to assess liver function
Serum creatine kinase(CK)12 monthsSerum creatine kinase levels are measured to assess muscle injury
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate(ESR)12 monthsESR is measured to assess inflammation or detect inflammatory conditions
C-Reactive Protein(CRP)12 monthsSerum CRP levels are measured to evaluate acute inflammation
Urine pH Levels12 monthsUrine pH is measured to assess acidity or alkalinity of the urine. Lower values indicate increased acidity, while higher values indicate increased alkalinity. Normal range is typically 4.5-8.0.
Urine Specific Gravity12 monthsUrine specific gravity is measured to evaluate urine concentration or dilution. A value closer to 1.000 indicates more diluted urine, while higher values suggest more concentrated urine. protein
Urine Protein12 monthsUrine protein levels are measured to assess the presence of proteinuria. Normal range is typically negative or \<20 mg/dL.
Urine Glucose12 monthsUrine glucose levels are measured to detect glycosuria. Normal range is negative.
Urine Bilirubin12 monthsUrine bilirubin levels are measured to assess liver function. Normal range is negative.
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by NCI - CTCAE v4.012 monthsall adverse and unintended signs (including abnormal laboratory test results), symptoms, or diseases that occur in research subjects who have been administered the investigational drug.
Aspartate Transaminase/Alanine Transaminase(AST/ALT)12 monthsAST and ALT levels are measured to assess liver function
Urine Ketone12 monthsUrine ketone levels are measured to detect ketonuria. Normal range is negative
Microscopic Analysis12 monthsMicroscopic analysis of urine is performed to identify the presence of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), crystals, casts, or bacteria, which may indicate infection, inflammation, or other pathological conditions.
