A method of relieving neuropathic pain uses moxonidine and its physiologically compatible acid-addition salts for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of neuropathic pain. A composition comprising an effective amount of moxonidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, is administered to a subject in need of such treatment. The composition may be administered intrathecally.
