Treatment for Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome includes:

• Avoid alcohol.
• Counseling for alcoholism
• Healthy diet
• Vitamin B supplements:
• Vitamin B1 (thiamine): prevents Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
• Vitamin B3 (niacin)
• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
• Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
• Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome clinical trials

Treatment may improve the confusion, delirium, difficult walking and abnormal eye movements. However, the loss of intellectual ability and memory problems do not improve.
