This article describes a planned protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis. The project aims to provide evidence-based guidance for clinical decision-making regarding electromagnetic stimulation protocols. The review is intended for patients with post-stroke lower limb dysfunction. No data or results are reported yet because the study has not been conducted or analyzed. The protocol specifies that lower limb motor function is the primary outcome of interest. Safety profiles are listed as secondary outcomes. The authors note that sample size, setting, and follow-up duration are not reported at this stage. Because the analysis has not been completed, no conclusions about effectiveness or safety can be drawn. Readers should wait for the final publication to learn if this intervention helps. This document serves as a plan for future research rather than a report of finished work. It is important to distinguish between a research plan and actual findings.
