Abstract
Therapeutic efficacy is one of the foundations on which any of the medical systems or curing/healing treatments are based. These may be intended for healing or curing according to the affliction theories of each medical system. The distinction between different types of effects (specific, nocebos and placebos) is very much centred on the biomedical perspective, although it is nowadays questioned by the interactions between biopsychosocial dimensions. The review of efficacy allows the assessment of all these effects of the therapeutic action, as well as understanding the functioning of other therapies.
