Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	(a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2021. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year, any other interim periods or any future year or period.
Principles of Consolidation	(b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of electroCore and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	(c) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include allowances for doubtful accounts, trade credits, rebates, co-payment assistance and sales returns, valuation of inventory, stock compensation, and contingencies.
Reclass of Statement of Cash Flows Activity	(d) Revision of Statement of Cash Flows Activity  In preparation of its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company realized that proceeds from its July 1, 2020 Commercial Insurance Premium Finance and Security Agreement should have been treated as a noncash activity instead of grossed up on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Even though the amount was not considered material, the financial statements have been revised. As a result, cash used in operating and cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased by approximately $600,000. (e) Reclassification of Statement of Cash Flows Activity  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications did not have an impact on net loss as previously reported.
