That depends on your world view. A very religious person would say yes. A more science-minded person, like myself, would say no or that it would have a "placebo effect" on the practitioner.

Answer:

There is no scientific and verifiable evidence that any form of prayer or chanting heals anything. Inthis case the effort required to chant a lengthy sutra like the Heart Sutra as opposed to the simpler mantras (like "Om Mani Padme Hum") might impose additional stress on the the patient.
