If correctly followed it CAN resolve the issue. But like all non-normals it requires a well trained Pilot and the correct response to the condition.
Additional to this you need to identify the problem. I could imagine this being quite a difficult task if you had unreliable airspeed announciations additional to stick shakers going off, even hearing the trim running may not be possible. The only way to confirm would be to look down but not sure who would be doing that when you are under the impression the aircraft is stalled.
