the claim

Sleeping on your back causes neck pain.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that sleeping on your back causes neck pain?

Partly. The retrieved items only partially address the claim: one study links adolescent neck-shoulder pain to the abdominal (prone) sleeping position rather than supine, another attributes sleep-related neck pain to pillow height and cervical alignment, and a review lists incorrect sleeping position generally among possible causes. None directly tests whether sleeping on one's back causes neck pain.
