The sample size is so small though that its really insignificant but it might be something to keep your eye on.

Eh, if 18 patients all saw improvement, there's very little doubt that it works.

The biggest worries here because of sample size are: inability to estimate prevalance of side-effects that are even a little rare, and biased sampling, meaning it might only work well in the subset of patients they let into this selective trial.
