In this paper, we introduce and characterize controlled dual frames in Hilbert spaces. We also investigate the relation between bounds of controlled frames and their related frames. Then, we define the concept of approximate duality for controlled frames in Hilbert spaces. Next, we introduce multiplier operators of controlled frames in Hilbert spaces and investigate some of their properties. Finally, we show that the inverse of a controlled multiplier operator is also a controlled multiplier operator under some mild conditions.
