Not only.
Airbus has 2 published procedures now. Both are memory items.
  1. STALL RECOVERY
  2. STALL WARNING AT LIFT-OFF

So the first one must be applied at any altitude, except lift-off :
NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL … APPLY
In case of lack of pitch down authority, reducing thrust may be necessary.
Historically, the answer to a stall warning was to apply full thrust and reducing the AoA, minimum altitude loss was a factor. Now not anymore: Above all it is making sure to reduce the AoA first and reducing thrust may be necessary. Smoothly increasing thrust comes only after stall indications are no longer present.
