Methods and compounds effective in ameliorating conditions characterized by unwanted calcium channel activity, particularly unwanted N-type or T-type calcium channel activity are disclosed. Specifically, a series of heterocyclic amides are disclosed of the general formula (1) where Z is N or -CHNR2 and X is NR2, O, S, S-O or SO2. Among other definitions for R, R1, W and Y, the compounds of formula (1) are further characterized by at least one of W or Y being CR3Ar2 where Ar is an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring (for example, where W or Y is a benzhydryl moiety).
