The present invention provides a method for the long-term relief of chronic pain in a subject by activating in the subject an analgesic α-adrenergic receptor in the absence of α-2A receptor activation over a period of at least three days, such that relief of chronic pain is maintained in the absence of continued activation of said receptor. The analgesic α-adrenergic receptor can be, for example, the α-2B receptor.

Compounds of Formula (I): where X is S and the variables have the meaning defined in the specification are specific or selective to alpha2B and/or alpha2C adrenergic receptors in preference over alpha2A adrenergic receptors, and as such have no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity. These compounds of Formula (I) are useful as medicaments in mammals, including humans, for treatment of diseases and or alleviations of conditions which are responsive to treatment by agonists of alpha2B adrenergic receptors. Compounds of Formula (I) where X is O also have the advantageous property that they have no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity and are useful for treating pain and other conditions with no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity.
