Objective This study aims to analyze the efficacy and safety of different electrical stimulation treatments for post-stroke motor dysfunction, quantitatively advantages between them their possible benefits patients. Methods We will systematically search seven databases. All be retrieved from inception 15, April 2024. Two reviewers evaluation risk bias in all included studies with version 2 Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool. Data synthesis performed using a random-effects model network meta-analysis compare therapies. The surface under cumulative ranking curve was used indicate possibility pros cons intervention. strength evidence assessed by Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development, Evaluation framework. Discussion provide that therapy can effectively improve function stroke patients also some valuable references clinical decision-making treatment guidelines. Trial registration PROSPERO number: CRD42023459102 .
